What is the best flow for a new semester?

I strongly believe the deployment of each semester should be its own destination, even if the content is in a shared repo.
How do we reconcile updates with this repo with customizations of each class's site?
Should courses make a new repo each semester, copying the previous one?

OK!

Initial thoughts after Data 101 copy:

copy most content works well
Do not overwrite files in _layout, _includes, .gitignore
need to create a space in _scss for auto importing a whole directory
_staffers should be optional?
_config should use a differ and show the differences, but not copy files
We should create a _lectures directory and a lecture.html layout.
We should use published: true|false and set to false for all pages in weeks, announcements, lectures, etc.
