Actually, only a 2 weeks ago, you suggested that I share the website
and main source code for my project in a single repository for reasons
of organization.

In this setup I find it logical to do

  git init-db
  git pull ..url.. website/master

to wind up with just the 5mb website, instead of the complete 70mb
of packed source code with all of its branches and tags.

Yes, I would like that.
