Eh?  Are we still talking about a "website", or "/etc"?  I'm talking about the
website case.  I don't do *anything* to the live site.  When I want to add a
file, I add it to my dev repo, possibly modifying my Makefile, and then spit
it out on my staging server.  (You *do* have one of those, right?)  Once I
know it's good, I push it to the live repo, and then "go live" with it.  I
*never* work on the files that are the result of "make install".
