This is a set of commits sowing what was in the v1 docs directory, and how it got to be that way. This is a basis for a review of the docs to update them for the current version.
To bring a subdirectory (and its history) back from an old branch, I did this:
git checkout v1
mkdir /tmp/p
cd docs
4374... is the commit with the first addition to the docs dir. ^ says the one before,
without it we skip the first checkin. "." says, "only include changes to files under $CWD"
