Research direction

Start by comparing the histories of the gh-pages and master branches, and review how the public docs are published. Confirm whether gh-pages can be based on master and whether the existing history should be retained in an old-gh-pages branch; the work is done when the maintainer-approved branch arrangement is in place.

Description

question

@fogus Any problems with me replacing the current gh-pages branch with one based off of master?

Right now, updating the public docs is a pain because gh-pages doesn't share history with master. I could keep the old history around as an old-gh-pages branch if you'd like.
