For one, Uwe popped up and said something like: REVERT!! REVERT!! REVERT!! REVERT!! REVERT!! So while it made some sense to call it solr in the unspoken place that it was, I was in such a hurry to move it I just left the name. Now it would require everyone svn switching to change it, so we have just left it for now. Renames and moves are easy in svn though, so I'm sure we could organize something better - we just meant for this to be a very temporary scratch pad to play with what was need to get up to Lucene trunk. We haven't meant to do anything official is why we havn't dropped onto the dev-list - we were just looking for a branch to hash out these patches. Now its up to everyone what we do with this branch. -Hoss -- - Mark http://www.lucidimagination.com

Sorry - hit a bad keyboard short cut and sent this mid way through writing it - please disregard and read the followup.

Makes sense to me. This is the kind of thing you'd do on a local checkout with git-svn, but if you don't have expertise in that (: I don't either :) then a throwaway svn branch is an alternative.

welcome new lucene/solr committers
The lucene/solr merge* has started off with a bang! Development on branches/solr to get on lucene trunk is progressing at a furious (nay... ferocious) pace, pushed by the not new, but new to solr committers. Feels great to have everyone on the same team! We've already merged committers of course (hence the flurry of commit activity by new ids), and it looks like lucene and solr will be ready to be on the same trunk much quicker than anticipated! As always, we'll be working out the little details as we go along, but it's been a tremendous start and I'd just like to thank the new to solr, but now all one big happy family lucene/solr committers! -Yonik * for those who don't follow *-dev or general regularly, yes lucene and solr have merged. This means development has merged - one set of committers working to produce both lucene and solr. There will always be separate lucene and solr downloads, and for historical reasons as well as user convenience, the user lists, websites, and JIRA databases will remain separate.
