Referencing a directory in the %files section automatically adds all
files under that directory to the package. Putting %dir in front of the
directory allows you to own the directory but not recursively add its
contents.
You probably want something like:
%files doc
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%dir %{_datadir}/doc/%{name}-%{version}/
%{_datadir}/doc/%{name}-%{version}/file1
%{_datadir}/doc/%{name}-%{version}/file2
...
