I mean that commit to run CompilerWarnings unconditionally built docs with
different flags than the other stuff in that task. If it's going to be a
separate task, then that doesn't matter.

This doesn't do the right thing - I just tried.
https://cirrus-ci.org/guide/writing-tasks/#environment-variables
| changesInclude function can be very useful for skipping some tasks when no changes to sources have been made since the last successful Cirrus CI build.

That means it will not normally rebuild docs (and then this still requires
resolving the "base branch").
