Hey, I'm not a big fan of code ownership either, but the proposal was just to remove the redundant stuff. If there is a consensus about removing the @author tag too, that's fine with me. Removing all this stuff at once is easier than having multiple runs where we remove one thing at a time.
Anyone who likes to keep the @author tags in? I don't really understand what you mean with config file? Do you mean the metadata of each file/directory? I'm not sure if we can easily clean up this stuff, without the risk of corrupting the repo or checkout... /JK 2010/8/11 Matthias Wessendorf <mat...@apache.org> > On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 11:55 PM, Bernd Bohmann > <bernd.bohm...@atanion.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > why we need the @author tag? > > I don't like code owner ship. > > well, some do.
