[Sussex] Reinventing the wheel

[Dominic Humphries]

External. Ish. The files can be edited by employees of client companies.
That's one of the reasons we use git - it makes it pretty near
impossible for them to delete or damage a file so badly we can't recover
it back to a previously-good state.

Each client has their own directory, can't edit someone else's files.
All managed by one git repo tho.
