Comment:

 I thought some sore about this and I have no good solution in the moment.
 Since henrietta has to run fast, the operations performed should be
 absolutely minimal: it already has to access the svn repo twice for each
 request (in the default case of accessing via subversion) and incorrect or
 missing files listed in the .meta file would create yet another error-
 situation to handle (currently there is only "egg missing").

 To keep things simple I recommend the following: put additional files and
 extra documentation into a separate directory, say:

 {{{
 :
 release/
   :
   4/
     :
     yelp/
       trunk/
       tags/
       doc/      <-- docs
     :
 }}}

 Since only the `trunk` and `tags` directories are processed by tools that
 access the repository (like henrietta),  you are free to add as many extra
 directories you like.

 This is not a perfect solution - in the event of reorganizing the
 repository layout (see ticket #91) we will be able to put additional
 material into the `dev` (development) part of the repository, which could
 hopefully make things somewhat cleaner.
