You can use the "git checkout" command to grab an individual file or an
entire directory from a different branch. Here's how I did it for the Swfit
docs:

git checkout master -- doc/src/docbkx/openstack-object-storage-admin

This works well for Swift docs because they're all inside a single
directory, but with the other guides it would be trickier because some of
the files are in the common directory.
