Yes.

We could do that, but Adrian's idea was that you build the website
locally.  I'd like the repo to provide the capability.  I just don't see
what the big deal is: You do get extra copies, but you can either share
the repos (see my other e-mail) or just deal with the overhead - disk
space seems pretty inflationary these days.
