If it wasn't for grancher (or something like it) I would not have been able to generate my site files as I do and git them into the gh-pages branch. In other words, I would have to have written grancher myself if it didn't already exist, and really I have enough to do, so without it I would have been content to stick with my old system of rsyncing the site to rubyforge, et al. > Personally, I like the way it works now.

How often would you be committing the site files anyway? I basically do it ounce per new release tag. That's it. As it stands, the site files are already being tracked, just in a different branch. So why is it such a big deal to track them along with the dev files? > So, if the sub directory thing is ever actually implemented, I hope > they > leave the gh-pages method alone. It's better. To each his own. I'm fine with support for both approaches. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
