Why did you split the doc-patch out of the feature-patch?

I would expect that documentation is committed in the same changeset as
the feature (or bug-fix) it relates to.

Simply because not having the documentation doesn't prevent the feature
from working, but it makes the patch smaller, so easier to review, in
my opinion.
