For example, in 1.34.x there was a page 
boost-root/more/cpp_committee_meetings.html

On the beta site, it has migrated to 
http://beta.boost.org/community/committee.html

But even after running bjam in release-candidate-root/doc that page (and 
other, if not all, http://beta.boost.org pages) is missing. And let's 
not forget the home page itself. There is still a version in the 
root-directory, but it is the old design, not the beta.boost.org design.

Furthermore, the release-candidate tree contains directories such as 
bin.v2 that shouldn't be in the release-candidate.

I'm guessing that 
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/beta has to be 
exported, then merged with the directory tree that resulted from 
exporting https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/release and then 
running bjam. But I need specifics.

Also, having two repositories that have to be exported and then merged 
seems confusing and error prone. Why hasn't the new 
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/website/public_html/beta material just 
been integrated into the trunk, and thus will flow into the release 
branch with everything else destined for the next release? I must be 
missing something.

Yep!
