  ok, that explains it but it doesn't defend it.  IMHO, any single
versioned tarball or repository checkout should always be internally
consistent, and that includes embedded documentation.  when i do a
"git pull" of any software, i expect the contents of any docs/
directory to reflect what's there.

  if you want to publicly publish the docs that reflect the last
official release, then build those docs from the appropriate git tag.
