Thanks Chris,

I already shared my thoughts on this yesterday, but I still fail to see the
advantage of keeping the details of the recent github nutchbase commits
(some of them being just upgrades to the recent changes in 1.1) in svn
nutchbase knowing that the point is actually to do incremental changes to
the existing trunk (which already has the 1.1 changes) from svn nutchbase
and review / comment / improve the code on this occasion.

Since we also want to produce a patch in JIRA for the changes in svn
nutchbase in order to put the "donated to Apache" stamp on it it would make
sense to do that just once and not for all the commits which have been done
in github.

I am probably missing an important point here, but if so I would appreciate
if someone (Dogacan?) could explain why we should not stick to the original
plan
(a) clear the existing svn nutchbase
(b) generate a large patch with the code from github and JIRA it
(c) commit the changes to svn nutchbase
then get on with the interesting bits.

My concern is that proceeding as Dogacan described yesterday might take
quite some time and block the rest of the work on 2.0. I am happy to work on
the 3 steps above BTW.

Thanks

Julien
