can you do the latter really?  You'd have to transfer all html files
because they have the generated link at the top of each page.

Seems easier to transfer current master's _template/* and annouce/* onto the
2.8.7 tag in a new branch and generate and push docs from there.
Could you do that?  With a bit of git-fu i suspect it's just a couple
of minutes ... not for me, though, and i have two children to care 
for currently :)
