+1. I'd also be happy to commit what we have to a new branch, then do followup work on that branch until people feel comfortable merging it. Branching gives us the plus of having smaller patches to review, without the risk introducd by merging half-done things in trunk. BTW: I realize I'm on the more conservative side in the community - please hold me to the same or higher standards :) I don't trust my own code more than anyone else's! -Todd -- Todd Lipcon Software Engineer, Cloudera
