Right after I moved the hcat code to hive/trunk/hcatalog Owen pointed out that the problem with this is now everyone who checks out Hive pulls _all_ of the hcat code. This isn't what we want.
The site code I propose we integrate with Hive's site code. I'll put up a patch for this shortly. The branches we could either move into Hive's branches directory (and move them to hcatalog-branch-0.x) or we could create a /hive/hcatalog-historical and put them there. I'm fine with either. Thoughts? Alan.
