It's my playpen for in-progress stuff & things Fabian won't accept.
I'll merge whatever I think is ready for release into 'master' and
push that.  ... Along with I'm a bit concerned that someday I'll
forget & do a push of my stuph; at least this way it'll all be in a
separate branch & easy to remove.

take a look at https://github.com/ler762/privoxy

Same here - I still haven't figured it out.

I was hoping that pushing everything up to github would allow people
to browse the .html files in doc/webserver/whatever...   which they
can, but they show up as the awful docbook auto-generated text files
instead of being interpreted as html source :(
