I've run into this too. I don't think this needs to be documented, I think it needs to be *fixed* -- that is, the relevant ant tasks need to not assume these directories exist and create them if not.

There is no 'how to use the solr git stuff' wiki page; that seems like the right place to document this. I'm not git-smart enough to write that page. -- Lance Norskog goks...@gmail.com
