Here is one problem I found today while trying to do a gtk 2.12.0 release with
svn gtk-doc:

[...]

mkdir ../../../gtk+-2.12.0/docs/reference/gdk-pixbuf/tmpl
mkdir ../../../gtk+-2.12.0/docs/reference/gdk-pixbuf/xml
mkdir ../../../gtk+-2.12.0/docs/reference/gdk-pixbuf/html
cp ./tmpl/*.sgml ../../../gtk+-2.12.0/docs/reference/gdk-pixbuf/tmpl
cp ./xml/*.xml ../../../gtk+-2.12.0/docs/reference/gdk-pixbuf/xml
cp ./html/* ../../../gtk+-2.12.0/docs/reference/gdk-pixbuf/html
case "x --source-dir=../../../contrib/gdk-pixbuf-xlib
--deprecated-guards="GDK_PIXBUF_ENABLE_BROKEN|GDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED"
" in \
          *' --rebuild-types '*) ;; \
          *) cp ./gdk-pixbuf.types
../../../gtk+-2.12.0/docs/reference/gdk-pixbuf/;; \
        esac

" in \'
make[4]: *** [dist-hook] Error 2


This comes from the following part of gtk-doc.make:

distclean-local:
        cd $(srcdir) && \
          rm -rf xml $(REPORT_FILES) \
                 $(DOC_MODULE)-decl-list.txt $(DOC_MODULE)-decl.txt
        case "x $(SCAN_OPTIONS) " in \
          *' --rebuild-types '*) rm -f $(srcdir)/$(DOC_MODULE).types;; \
        esac
        case "x $(SCAN_OPTIONS) " in \
          *' --rebuild-sections '*) rm -f
$(srcdir)/$(DOC_MODULE)-sections.txt;; \
        esac


Any chance to make that work with existing uses of gtk-doc before
releasing 1.9 ?
