I had the same feeling pushing up Continuum's Maven site recently...

Is the main problem the file-by-file nature, or something else (such as the 
size)?

I wonder if it is time to revisit that decision - since we seem to only link to 
the main docs anyway and have been pretty good about annotating "@since" in the 
docs. In particular, the javadoc and similar reports like xref and emma tend to 
take up the largest chunk of the site deployments, and they have less value 
over multiple versions for plugins, etc. than they might for a reusable library.

If we were to have multiple versions, perhaps the best way to do that is 
publish to a canonical location, then svn cp that server-side to the versioned 
equivalent.

Ultimately, you really just want to transport diffs.

I don't recall this, do you have a pointer?
