Repo organization & flow

1. Code & doc changes are made to the main branch.
2. Data is added to the data branch.
3. Docs are rendered in the docs branch.

This flow has the benefit of automatically tracking data lineage: for any given datum, it is easy to determine which version of the tool generated it. It also ensures that each data-fetch operation uses the latest version of the tool.

Check the network to see the current relationship between these branches.
