Ok, not too opinions on the matter :-)
Having thought about it more I came to the conclusion that the matter is
different for front and backend. What I wrote is true for the backend.
The frontend (I mean mostly the templates /styles /javascript, not even
controllers) is different in that it is invariably and usually heavily
altered.
When trying to keep such a changing frontend in sync with development it
usually is a mess. There is only one way I know how to do this, and that
is with proper version control.
So then we're back to the forking model. So the frontend should be
forked. Then one can try to bring in changes via branches and pulls.
So this would mean a split into (at least) 2 reps. Frontend (templates +
shop related asstes) and backend (models,controllers, everything else).
The frontend should be forked and depend on a specific version (gem/tag)
of the backend.
Thoughts?
