(Speaking not as a mentor, just someone who has deployed sites on ASF 
infrastructure.)

What makes most sense to me is to put the web site source in master along with 
the source code, and to put the generated site in a different git repo (not 
just a different branch). It allows you to make a commit that changes both 
source code and the web site.

And it prevents the source repo from becoming really large (generated web sites 
can be large if you deploy 100M of generated java doc each release). You don’t 
want every contributor to have to download a huge git repo.
