[Yanel-dev] Yanel documentation, SVN and Yarep files

I am wondering if we should not just svn:ignore all "revisions" 
directories for the Yanel documentation:

- we would not have to bother committing files for old revisions we do 
not need (as the current content file everything is under version 
control anyway); AFAIK not having this files does not produce any error, 
or at least it should not

- we would still experience how Yanel behaves with many revisions on the 
Wyona website (even if we already experience that on a much larger scale 
on some customer projects anyway), and at least those who try and 
download Yanel would not be obliged to pay the hefty price in terms of 
files downloaded...

- we could do that incrementally each time a committer updates a 
documentation page

- it certainly is easier to do than to use SVN as repository backend for 
the Yanel website /cf. 
<http://bugzilla.wyona.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6939>) which 
originally had the same motivations

Note that it looks like it was already "unofficially" done for some 
pages where:
- either the "revisions" directory has never been committed (e.g. 
src/realms/yanel-website/content/source-repository.xhtml.yarep/revisions)
- or the whole "*.yarep" directory in which the "revisions" directory 
sits is ignored (e.g 
src/realms/yanel-website/content/documentation/create-new-resource/en.xhtml.yarep) 
or maybe sometimes not committed, both of which I am not sure it's 
really a good idea...

WDYT?
