@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.

would this help using other branches than gh-pages?

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.

The package I started looking at, nodegit, does not support Node.js 10 (nodegit/nodegit#1490), so some builds error, and it may be a blocker going forward.

Possible alternatives may be git or simple-git, but I haven't looked into those.

I'm abandoning this issue for the time being, as it's not a priority.
