I'm afraid the organization logic is totally upside down. I would like to have all my "pitches" in a single repo, possibly modifying some of them slightly in branches - not one pitch per repo, or even worse, one pitch per branch (???).

Having a default PITCHME.md is convenient, but not if it is the only possible way. What's wrong with adding a filepath after the branch in the url?

If you would like to have all of your "pitches" in a single repo you can absolute do that. As described in the Wiki:

"Sometimes you may find yourself wanting to build a series of related presentations within a single branch. Collectively these presentations may share common assets such as images, backgrounds, and even custom CSS styling."

For details see the following page in the GitPitch Wiki:

You might also be interested in support for modular Markdown which allows you to share not just assets but Markdown snippets across multiple presentations. See here:

Thanks for the reply, much better. I still don't get why the filename has to be PITCHME.md, though :)

PITCHME.md is a convention. Simple and memorable just like README.md.
