-TODO: Add instructions on how to build/export/integrate ‘prebuilt’ docs.
+Branch ‘prebuilt’ is special. Its contents (or a subset) are used as
+submodules in other Git repos (e.g., Exchange, Merchant, Sync).
+
+One approach that works well (so far) for ttn is to do
+(presuming that the current directory is named ‘docs’):
+
+ $ cd ..
+ $ git clone -b prebuilt --reference docs \
+ git+ssh://git@git.taler.net/docs.git \
+ docs-prebuilt
+
+This creates Git repo docs-prebuilt as a peer to the current repo.
+
+This way, you can build in this directory (i.e., "make man" or whatever)
+and then copy to ../docs-prebuilt/man/* what files need to be updated.
+In that repo, you can commit changes and push to git.taler.net as normal,
+all without having to do "git checkout" in either repo.
