So what worked quite well for the Eclipse NeoSCADA project is to use a
static web page generated using the "Acceleo" Model to Text tools [1].
Checking in the static web pages in the web git repository and the sources
to the generator to the "releng" code git repository. That way website and
code was split up.

Of course you are down to coding manual HTML to some degree, although
Acceleo helps a lot. If you use some sort of HTML toolkit (like bootstrap)
you don't need to worry too much.

Then again if you don't update your templates for a few years it starts to
look old ;-)
