This should be easy but I haven't figured out a solution yet.

I have a repository (repo), agentscript.  It has not only the core code and
"plugins" but docs, models, and js/min.js files which require hosting ..
i.e. something that can "serve" these html/js files.

GHPages, the github project hosting service provides this.  GHPages works
by having a branch, gh-pages, which is stored on their hosting service (not
their project site)

But to use their hosting service and nifty templates, there are several, 5,
extra files/folders generated and live in the branch

I'd like to maintain the branch separately, with the 5 extra files/folders,
and periodically add all of the main/master repo to this.  I believe the
branches would have to remain separate, even tho sharing most of their
files.

Git merge won't work, I think.  If I merge the master into the branch, the
branch becomes the master, and I no longer have separation between the two
.. and I pollute the master repo with the extra web service files.

Is there a git trick that would let me maintain two separate branches, and
periodically "merge" the master files into the branch, yet keep the 5
branch web service files/folders out of the master?

Oh, in addition, the server files need no updating at all after their
initial creation.  They simply use the project README.md for their
"content".
