This is why I made the rake task. If you `rake ghp` then it will make a
commit on gh-pages that brings it up to date.
We don't need one for every single commit on master, just when we want to
ship the site.

The intention was also that the developer does not have to switch. Work
entirely on master all the time. Run `rake ghp` from master and it
generates a single commit on gh-pages that updates it completely.
