Hi--

I'm sorry but the Pages feature is just god awful annoying. These are
my issues with it:

1) Conceptually branches are intended for copies of one's project to
be worked on, not a wholly different set of files.

2) It is customary to keep one's website files is a subdirectory or
one's project.

3) Per custom, my site pages are already there, in the subdirectory.
So why not just serve them up? Why waste storage space by storing
another copy of them in a separate branch?

4) Whenever one has to do something mind-numbing like <a href="http://
github.com/drnic/sake-tasks/blob/
3152ac2eca99b97fa3bd4a2951a52064d7bd961c/github/pages/
migrate_website.sake">this</a> in order to get something to work as
one would expect, then you know there's room for improvement.

I'm not asking that you get rid of the whole gh-pages branch thing --
clearly some people want it that way, but perhaps you could offer the
subdirectory way as an alternative? Ideally have a property to specify
which directory or branch, to find site pages.

Pretty please,
With a cherry on top,
Trans
