Changing a tag to a branch leads to original and `_b` versions
See original GitHub issueDetails
- Project URL: http://gidgethub.readthedocs.io
- Build URL (if applicable): N/A
- Read the Docs username (if applicable): brettcannon
Expected Result
RTD to notice I changed a tag to a branch and then drop the old branch (in this case, stable).
Actual Result
I now have a stable version for the now-deleted tag and a stable_b label for the branch. This breaks bookmarks for folks since I default to this branch (and I deleted the tag because RTD kept failing to build, maybe because of #3513 ?).

@stsewd thanks for the info. I can just live with being off the master (good motivation to make releases more frequently 😉 ).
FYI I have temporarily turned off which version gidgethub.rtfd.io points to until/if this can be resolved (just in case people trying to diagnose what happened wonder why the site changed).
