if they were developed outside the main tree, doesn't that mean that they were not part of the trunk at that time but merged later? shouldn't such cases be imported into an independent branch (that has no common base with pike) and then merged into the main pike branch at the appropriate point? using a merge would represent the true history (developed seperately and then merged) greetings, martin.
