What I wanted to do is to include the 3-layer model I usually use to
explain Nexus into the existing documentation. What I recognized is that
I had to change a lot of things in the introduction of the manual in
order to get my stuff into it. But I wanted to keep the current version
as a kind of stable tree. The easiest way to achieve this is to open a
new branch and merge back once you are done with the work. By publishing
the branch everyone can have a look on it before it is merged into the
original code. 

I worked with git-svn before but it has several restrictions and I am
usually more afraid to mess things up in the SVN repository when using
it. git-svn is something you may use if there is no other way - but at
least to my opinion it is not a really good solution.
