Global redirect makes sure that when people visit a page on your site, they see your latest beautiful alias, not the Drupalish internal path or your second-to-last alias.
For instance, even if someone links to node/23 directly, they will be redirected to the aliased version, point/official-release-drupal-2-0
(Go to the module's project page for a 7 step description.)
This is great module for lazy people. All we have to do is enable it, and it starts doing its work.
There is a configuration page but the defaults will work fine for you in almost all cases.
