Thank you for that. I was simply not aware about the whole context. :-(

Now it is clear and makes much more sense.

Once again, kudos to Dirk for his work on the doc toolchain which is often
thankless job.

Strangely enough, I was avoiding getting 'dirty' with Git always assuming
(prejudices, prejudices...) that's it's very (too) complicated to use, but now
