A month or two ago, there was some discussion about changing the
way git is managed, to allow doc writers to have permission to
change Documentation/user/ but not other parts of the tree. At
the time I begged everybody to shelve the discussion for a few
weeks until I wasn't so busy. I'm now no longer busy, so it might
be good to resume the discussion.
As an idea of the requirements: I currently anticipate 6 people
(not currently listed as members of the devel team) who should
have commit ability to Documentation/user/ after GDP. 1 of those
people is also a translator, which may or may not be a different
branch/tree/whatever. Another 1 of those people should also have
commit ability to the entire tree.
(more details about these people can be found in the "post-GDP doc
team" email)
I predict that at most two other people should be granted commit
ability to Documentation/user/ in the next 12 months.
Given this situation, I'm not at all certain that it's worth
making a separate branch or cloned git tree for docs. But I'll
leave that decision to people who know more about git.
Cheers,
- Graham
