That would be the best, since site admins have no advantage having less files in their copy of phpBB...

Please put them in their own repo! Putting large binary resources in a code repository is how you end up with code repositories that are 150MB big. Every time you save a new version, the repository increases in size 2MB.

@callumacrae it will be separated into only those that require it such as the gh-pages as their should not be many if any design files for anything else

That will still hugely increase the size of the repo. What's wrong with a phpbb-assets repo?

there is no design folder at the moment anyway in the current repos. This topic is about establishing a standard and in that regard their should always be a design folder located in your project folder near your img folder. It does not need to live in the repo.
