I can't find "v1 z" or "v1%20z" neither in the repository for the website (https://github.com/git/git-scm.com) nor in the one for the book (https://github.com/progit/progit2). So I'm not sure what's going on here, but reporting it as an issue via the website repository should get the right people to take a look, I assume. https://git-scm.com/book/pl/v2 works fine, by the way, including other language versions.

The book content is added to the sql database by a ruby job. But we stopped running that job for the v1 (first-edition) book at some point before 2017. I don't have an exact date, but I removed the generation code in 495fa431 (drop book.rake, 2017-10-08). We later restored it so that we could re-import historical versions (say, if the database crashed and was wiped), but it finally went away in f474e35c (Remove link to 1st book edition, 2018-11-21). Frankly, I'm surprised there's any v1 content left, since we've had to re-build the database from scratch a few times over the years. -Peff ```
