Greg Stein commented on THRIFT-439:
-----------------------------------

I'm with Doug on what to put into the version on trunk (eg. "0.2-dev"). We do 
this in the Subversion project to distinguish source trees (via checkout or a 
tarball) from the True Releases.

The /branches/0.1.x naing is also typical.

The svn Release Manager will then make a copy of the branch into /tags/0.1.0 on 
his local machine, edit the version information to read "0.1.0", and then 
commit that. This prevents "release-looking" revisions from occurring on the 
(0.1.x development) branch.

There is no given ASF policy for the Contributors file. That is really a local 
social/community norm rather than a general policy. Personally, I find such a 
file hard to maintain, and just refer people to commit messages and Jira 
activity to find out more about participation.

In Subversion, we have a COMMITTERS file which tracks "who has commit, and if 
partial only, then to which directories." That is administrative rather than 
advertising participation. Our log messages say things like "Patch by: John Doe 
<j...@example.com>" in order to provide proper credit to contributors.

<very-IMO-here>
To some extent, I would liken CONTRIBUTORS to @author tags. If we really want 
the code to be community-owned, then I believe reduction of personal credit is 
the best approach.
