OK,
so that /can be/has been/ done. Bingo!
I was really struggling to think of a way in which it could be.
Cheers for the pointer.

In which case, I think that's what I'll look to do for now, not
least as:
a) I have already done it "offline", so effectively with just the
lesson style as the "upstream repo" but without it being the
online repo !
b) it would get the existing shell-extras content, presented within
the same Look-and-Feel as the rest of SWC ,"out there".

Presumably whilst maintaing a branch within the existing shell-extras
repo that mirrors any changes in the content alone? Yes, I think I can
see how to make that work.
Thanks again, there were a number of dark areas fpr me, and this input
has been very illuminating,
