@dontcallmedom suggested during yesterday's project review (“Using GitHub for W3C Specifications”) that

echidna should be improved to retrieve content via git rather than just http.

I think that's the idea, @plehegar: not having to publish using gh-pages, using different branches, tags or commits… much like when we define Git npm dependencies.
