+A `_redirects` file at the root of a deployed directory sets the site's redirects,
+one per line: `/old-page /new-page`, optionally followed by `301` (default) or `302`.
+It isn't published. Each deploy with the file replaces the redirects it set before;
+redirects added in the dashboard stay. `pull_site` writes the file back.

 ### `deploy_html`
