I'm not that bothered by it but I think it'd be better if that weren't the case.  The issue could be solved by using release and devleop branches in git rather than putting everything on master and deploying from master.

I'm in love with Vincent Driessen's approach: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

In this model they'd still deploy from a master copy but new changes would enter through a "develop" branch (often through feature branches/pull requests) and only be merged into master during a release.  Hotfixes could be applied to the running website to fix up errors in the current release using the hotfix branch method.

Master serves as a stable snapshot of the release and develop is the under construction branch.

Seems that you are easily irritated. It takes one click to realise it is a non-released version (everything empty)... :)
