Updating the gh-pages updates the editors' draft; pushing snapshots to /TR updates the Working Draft, the document people will find first if searching the W3C site. WDs link to editors' drafts and vice versa. In case I confused things with W3C terminology: Working Draft: what's published in /TR and gets patent commitments on publication to Recommendation Editors' Draft: the draft editors are working on, here in gh-pages; usually pushed in periodic snapshots to /TR Working Drafts after FPWD.
