Unrelated files being deleted upon documentation rebuild

[WasabiFan]

I currently run TypeDoc and tell it to dump the generated docs into a docs/ folder, which also happens to be a submodule in my repo. Every time I regenerate my docs, the .git file is deleted and I lose my submodule. Is there a way to either:

• Explicitly specify files that shouldn't be touched
• Make it not delete files that aren't HTML in the TypeDoc structure

Hi. Sorry, currently TypeDoc simply empties the output folder completely.

I just added a new command line option --disableOutputCheck which allows you to turn of the automatic removal of the output directory. Please note that when using this switch it is your task to prepare the output directory so you should include some custom clean up script before running TypeDoc.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
