Some of you have already seen my patches at 
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=15961 and been giving helpful 
feedback, and I thank you for it. I wanted to extend a big thank you for 
writing OpenGrok, too. All the developers I work with love it--it's so much 
nicer than the similar Lucene-based code search tool we wrote in-house many 
years ago.

I'm wondering if submitting patches to the defect tracker is really the 
preferred development method, as I am realizing that my patch has several parts 
which can be applied independently. I am happy to split it up into symlink 
support, clearcase isRepositoryFor improvments, and automatically indexing 
symlinks that are in source root. I can attach them all to the existing defect, 
create new ones for each patch, give direct access to my mercurial repo (which 
might be tricky because I'm behind a pretty restrictive firewall). What does 
the development team prefer?

I have a good idea of how to split the patch up using git, but I'm new to 
mercurial. Are there any suggestions? Perhaps the MQ extension?

Thanks,
Patrick
