Description

We currently re-generate PDF and HTML documentation whenever we commit a
documentation patch, which creates huge commit messages that few read. This was
originally done so that folks who check out the sources from subversion did not
need to install forrest in order to read the documentation.

Note, this issue only concerns the versioned documentation included in trunk and releases, not the website, whose forrest output should continue to be kept in subversion.
