Do we want to consider adding in a "mirror" of the JDBC/ODBC stuff in the same way? Based on the direction we are taking, I'm all for it .. the idea being that when beta starts, the JDBC folk (or ODBC, or ?) would submit a mega patch to be applied to the tree and tag'd in with the rest of it, and beta distribution copies built up ... development of the various drivers would remain on gborg/pgfoundry where they are now, all we'd have in our CVS would be 'the released version' ...
This is just a horrible horrible idea. Code needs to have one authoritative home. I know the dreadful fate of Cassandra, but please think very carefully about this. The "mega patch just before release" would bite quite horribly. I have had to manage projects where we had to sync between repos - even in a much smaller more manageable commercial environment it sucked badly, and we quickly abandoned it.
