I am tracking an issue with our docs over at LEAP here. We just noticed that the deployment branch retains html files which are not currently part of the book anymore!
I figure this is due to the setting here which I think is necessary for the preview to work.
Wondering what folks here think about this? This seems like a pretty bad behavior to me (and has caused some major confusion with our users), so I would be willing to implement a custom solution until an upstream solution is available. But I think such a solution should definitely live here?

I think the desired solution here would be to specify a directory (
/preview) that is retained, while all other files represent a current commit? It seems that this has been brought up as feature request upstream (https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/issues/718 and https://github.com/peaceiris/actions-gh-pages/issues/771) but is not currently implemented.Wondering what folks here think about this?
