A typical approach would be to use groups.  You have a 'freeciv' group
(which is most of the tree) and a 'freeciv-doc' group which is only
the doc tree.

Then most of the tree is chgrp freeciv, but the manuals are chgrp
freeciv-doc. Then you add users to freeciv-doc (only) if you want them 
to be able to work on just the docs, but you add them to both groups
if you want them to be able to work anywhere.
