Also, thinking about in-progress presentations. I'm inferring you
wanted to do some kind of "for X in presentations.git/*/; do …; done"
loop.

Sure. Indeed, this will be nicer...

Hang on, why don't we just generate PDFs, push them directly to
presentations.git, and just serve a git checkout of the repo? :)

PDFs are compressed after all so would hardly bloat the (already
large) repository, there is no need for any automatic jobs that have
filename assumptions or syncing work of any kind.
