Hi Pat,
Hi Martin,

first thanks Pat for your long but simple explanation, I think that is
what I was looking for in the official help file.

Re htaccess and possible includes I have to admit the example was a
placeholder to have a simple exmaple.
What I really want to do is to branch a DokuWiki from github. Make my
own working branch (e.g. template-trunk), create multiple branches
(e.g. template-mod1, mod2...) to add to CSS, html etc and then merge
them back into my template-trunk. If the main template on github
changes I want to pull/merge them into my template-trunk.

What I'm not sure now is how will I merge my template-mod1..2.. back
into template-trunk?

So thank you again for the detailed replies

Sebastian
