I feel like i must have missed out on some sort of discussion -- what
was
the motivation behind creating a branch for this? (as opposed to just
using solr/trunk, since it seemed like there was a clear concensus from
all the solr devs (in the merge discussion) that the next major solr
release should be in sync with Lucene 3.x)
Because getting Solr on Lucene 3.x is a combination of a bunch of
issues and patches - robert and I were trying to juggle them all and
it was major annoying. So we made a branch that we could commit crappy
stuff too fast and furious to get things up to speed and iterate. This
branch is basically the culmination of all the patches, plus whatever
else we needed.
Also: why such a horrible branch name? ... seems more then a little
vague.
God don't ask. As Robert and I were looking for a place for a branch,
it came up in #Lucene irc chat that we should put it in a certain place.
It turns out, that certain place caused a raucous. Uwe popped up and
said something like:
