There is a filter mechanism used in detecting is a run is needed, and in 
modern versions of the client (Release 4.7, one version later than 
guaibasaurus is currently using) it lets you have both include and 
exclude filters. For example, you could have this config setting:

     trigger_include => qr(/doc/src/),

and it would then only match changed files in the docs tree.

It's a global mechanism, not per step. So it will run all the steps 
(other than those you have told it to skip) if it finds any files 
changed that match the filter conditions.

If you do that you would probably want to have two animals, one doing 
docs builds only and running frequently, one doing the dist stuff much 
less frequently.
