how to create orphan folder in repository?

[hq]

We are thinking of using the repository as a centralized location to keep misc. documents that are associated with the project. We would like to keep the appropriate documents within each project's main folder. However, we don't want for these documents to show up or be sync'd each time some one opens visual studio - we just want a centralized location for storage - like shared folder. Preferably, they would only be available through the vault client and the developers could download them, if needed. Can this be done?

As long as the files are not part of the Visual Studio project, opening VS should not affect them, meaning it won't get the files to the local drive unless you do a separate Get from the GUI client. So, it sounds like this should work fine.
