I'm deliberately blocking out the time to see this through myself. As
an earlier message from me to you said, I'll change the webbuild script
so that instead of checking out a copy of the docs from the repository,
it copies over a pre-change copy of the docs from a directory that I'll
set up somewhere on hub. So the web build will keep changing, and you
will be able to make changes to the web site as normal. It's just that
for the duration of the change the doc/ tree will be frozen while I fix
up Makefiles.
And to answer the original point -- the aim with the doc/ repository is
to have it as non-fragile as possible.
In order to build documents in any of the languages you must have
checked out the share/ directory as well. Yes, this a requirement, but
it's no more onerous then ensuring that if you want to build the world
you have src/share checked out as well.
