The problem with committing into 2 repositories (only merging from one 
side) is that the docs/html also contain localization files which make 
it hard to work/test the code because localization strings are initially 
added by the developers. They would then have to change in the 2nd repo 
and pull for testing.

Would git submodule work with this kind of layout? Same folders 
containing different files. I thought submodules only work with 
subdirectories which are itself a git repo.
