Ok, I've created branch-1. I've also updated HowToContribute with
information on what patches go where now. Proofreaders and feedback on
clarity are welcomed. (At the same time I updated the page to contain
git instructions instead of SVN, so feedback on that is good too.)

Based on our discussion and vote last week I'm working on creating
branch-1. I plan to make the branch tomorrow. If anyone has a large
commit they don't want to have to commit twice and they are close to
committing it let me know so I can make sure it gets in before I branch.
I'll also be updating
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HowToContribute to
clarify how to handle feature and bug fix patches on master and branch-1.
Also, we will need to make sure patches can be tested against master
and branch-1. If I understand correctly the test system today will
run a patch against a branch instead of master if the patch is named
with the branch name. There are a couple of issues with this. One,
people will often want to submit two versions of patches and have them
both tested (one against master and one against branch-1) rather than
one or the other. The second is we will want a way for one patch to
be tested against both when appropriate. The first case could be
handled by the system picking up both branch-1 and master patches and
running them automatically. The second could be handled by hints in
the comments so the system needs to run both. I'm open to other
suggestions as well. Can someone familiar with the testing code point
to where I'd look to see what it would take to make this work?
Alan.
