    Just recall that we could apply [COUCHDB-1658](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1658) [patch](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12567123/COUCHDB-1658.1.patch) that could be the solution for missed local docs. And then this PR makes links right. In case of missed local docs you'll be just redirected to online ones instead of browsing 404 page.

> Probably, it's better to redirect user to online docs (e.g. https://couchdb.readthedocs.org/en/{version}/ ) instead of showing "Not found." message if CouchDB was built without local docs support. Since {version} might not be equal to the branch name, may be take major and minor numbers with 'x' joined by dot '.' or set it as 'latest' if 'git' substring was found in version.
