this looks like it might help us too with getting the release documentation
content/changes along with code & test contributions in patches without the
extra step with the site in the commits with svn

Subject: [jira] [Created] (AURORA-985) Move Aurora website source to
subdirectory of git repo
To: iss...@aurora.incubator.apache.org
Dave Lester created AURORA-985:
----------------------------------
Summary: Move Aurora website source to subdirectory of git repo
Key: AURORA-985
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-985
Project: Aurora
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Dave Lester
Assignee: Dave Lester
Currently the source of the Aurora website lives in subversion; static
files generated by Middleman live in a /site/publish/ folder that renders
online at aurora.incubator.apache.org. However, since documentation is
rendered on the website (and included in the /docs folder of the codebase)
it requires they be copied from git to svn whenever a change is made.
This ticket proposes to move the contents of the /site/source/ folder
(currently on subversion) to git, and to be part of the same repository
where the aurora codebase lives.
This change would make it possible to:
1) avoid a `git clone` of docs from the git repo to subversion
2) easily vet documentation changes to the main Aurora codebase by seeing
how they will render on the website. Having them in two separate repos
currently makes this cumbersome, and encourages folks to ship documentation
without verifying what it looks like.
3) simplifies the process of committing documentation changes to the
website by making it possible w/in the same repo as the full codebase
