Applied, thanks.
Unfortunately I seem to have gotten it partially wrong; www.gnu.org
now bounces *every* URL of the form
https://www.gnu.org/software/config/xxxxx to
https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config, ignoring the more specific
directives. Apache's documentation is not very clear but I *think*
the problem is the last line. Can you please delete
Redirect /software/config/ https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
Yes, this makes sense, I've removed that line, but, unfortunately,
there is no visible difference:
$ curl -I https://www.gnu.org/software/config/config.guess
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Tue, 14 May 2024 22:12:12 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.29
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000
X-Frame-Options: sameorigin
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

I suggest restoring the old index.html file with its <META> redirect and
changing .htaccess to:
8<------
Redirect "/software/config/config.guess"
"https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.guess";
Redirect "/software/config/config.sub"
"https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.sub";
8<------
The Apache documentation that I have found
(<URL:https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect>
and <URL:https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html>)
uses the quotes in all examples; I do not know if they are actually
required.
Another option uses RedirectMatch:
8<------
RedirectMatch "/config\.(.*)$"
"https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.$1";
8<------
This second option redirects a request for any file config.FOO to
Savannah CGit. (I could have used $0 in the replacement, but $1 is more
clear.)
Also, asking the FSF sysadmins very nicely to initiate a graceful
restart of the httpd might help, if the wildcard redirects have somehow
been cached in the running Apache.
