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.
