huh?

        byrd:~/usr/src/lilypond/Documentation/user$ grep to-xml *
        byrd:~/usr/src/lilypond/Documentation/user$ grep lyric-hyphen-retain *
        byrd:~/usr/src/lilypond/Documentation/user$ grep lyrics-melisma-faster *
        byrd:~/usr/src/lilypond/Documentation/user$ grep unfold-all-repeats *

to-xml.ly has moved to input/no-notation/

I guess that what you are really saying is that the 2.4 manual is
outdated wrt to the 2.5 manual.

FWIW, the manual contains the code for "chords-without-melody.ly",
which also demonstrates how to get a repeat.

I rather suggest that (some) changes to the 2.5 manual are backported
to 2.4
