Branch is probably the wrong name here... but I'm thinking that

really fit under the same umbrella as the rest of the components

transport in
parallel to repos/asf/qpid/trunk/qpid would be one way of doing
it...
Although looking at other Apache projects it seems like the
common way of
doing this is
.../asf/<project>/<component>/trunk or even
.../asf/<project>/<component>/<sub-component>/trunk (see ant,
commons,
httpd, etc.)
Though this would obviously require a little more re-organisation
for us
all...
Actually not necessarily, we already have a superfluous "qpid"
directory
at the top level of trunk, so we could introduce "amqp-transport" at
that level if we wanted to.
ie .../asf/qpid/trunk/amqp-transport/...
I'm not necessarily advocating this, but it would avoid a whole
lot of
top level moves that might heavily confuse the git mirroring process.
I'd be fine with this option as well. I think the key thing for me
is to maintain the packaging and interface discipline of keeping
the transport as a standalone entity.
We could insert a sub-project at the top level while still
maintaining the existing structure? For example:
.../asf/qpid/trunk/qpid/spec
.../asf/qpid/trunk/qpid/cpp
.../asf/qpid/trunk/qpid/java
.../asf/qpid/trunk/qpid/...
.../asf/qpid/qpid-amqp/trunk/common
.../asf/qpid/qpid-amqp/trunk/cpp
.../asf/qpid/qpid-amqp/trunk/java
.../asf/qpid/qpid-amqp/trunk/...
This is a fairly common idiom. ActiveMQ do this, for instance:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/activemq/trunk/
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/activemq/activemq-protobuf/trunk/
