Sorry, I must have misread your question.
If you only use %docs with absolute paths, then rpm doesn't seem to
remove %{_docdir}. If you use paths relative to the builddir, then rm
-rf is run. For example
%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%doc A
%files doc
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%doc %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}/B
does not work (fails with file B not found), but
%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%doc %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}/A
%files doc
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%doc %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}/B
works just fine.
PS. This list is actually off-topic for this kind of discussion, next
time mail fedora-devel-list instead.
