[FM Discuss] 'manual' backups

[James Simmons]

Adam,

So you're saying that all the pages for all the manuals are stored in
database tables?  What about images?

I seem to recall reading that Booki itself used git to store different
versions of manual pages.  Is that true?  If so, what directory is the
Git repo in?
