This could quickly devolve into a "bikeshed" discussion so I'll get some thoughts in early before it does! * If we are going to move these subdirectories out of the main source controlled area we might as well just delete them, as for most people that is what it'll look like and the whole point of source control is that nothing is really lost and you can "go back in time" and recover the artefacts anyway. * Putting them outside the main trunk/branch/tag makes the code invisible to the git mirror which an increasing number of us use. Incidentally this wouldn't be an objection to creating self contained new projects there as we'd get infrastructure to mirror those separately. * So I suggest just adding a sibling directory at the very top level of trunk etc called obsolete and keep things in this for 1 release and delete it. -- So we'd end up with .../asf/qpid/trunk/qpid & .../asf/qpid/trunk/obsolete Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:[email protected]
