I thought I remembered there being a setting to control this. All I'm
finding now is:

https://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_100/howto/howto-asf-mirror.html#link
and
https://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_100/faq.html#cli-xconf

Have you already tried that?

Around line 82 of main/targets/site.xml
it copies only certain project resources, explicitly the images directory.

Perhaps the ability was never completed to copy over certain relevant
other project resources.

Perhaps this is indicating that this should be in a plugin.
There is a section at the end of each plugin build.xml file,
that shows how to copy over extra resources.

I only found one that utilises that: the output.htmlArea plugin.
(Not sure about the state of that plugin, but at least useful as an example.)

As a plugin would make it easier to apply to various projects.

And if your project uses Forrestbot to deploy, then that might assist
on a per-project level.

http://forrest.apache.org/tools/forrestbot.html#Workstages
discusses using your own "getlocal.get" workstage.

Another way is shown in our "zone" SVN forrest/zone/config/run-forrestbot.sh
which can copy some stuff before invoking forrest.

Thanks to both of you for tips and suggestions:-)
