Please help me understand the source-control setup for the donated Geode
docs.
Per the announcement:
> The donated source currently sits in a separate branch in the Geode
repository named staging/docs-grant1

I see when I check out the staging branch that the dozen or so user manual
source directories are located at the topmost level of the repo,
interspersed with source code directories. Another four individual files
are placed at the top level, also, including a README.md that overwrites
the README.md for the Geode code that I see when I'm working on the develop
branch.

I think it would be easier to find the files and distinguish them from
source code if they were located in their own subdirectory, maybe
'geode-docs' for example. This would be helpful during the comment period,
as well as later when the docs have been accepted as part of the main repo.
- To what extent is the directory structure dictated by Apache precedent?
- Can the locations be changed during the comment period?
- If not, can the locations be changed after the comment period, before the
branch is merged into the main repo?

Thanks,
Dave Barnes
