  There are a few more issues to discuss (from the design document):
  use of forest and use of mq.  wx-equivalent operations for a developer
  are pretty dependent on the latter; handling of bringover-equivalent
  operations in nightly depend on the former (for contributors with
  access to usr/closed and other potentially separated subtrees).

  It's a bit more complicated than that, of course.  (But nothing Rich
  couldn't handle.  :) ) There is functionality in wx that we would like
  to make accessible from the hooks, as well as available to the
  developer.  (In fact, one idea--Danek's, but I think it's very
  appealing--is to have the commit hook on the developer side and one or
  more of the accept hooks on the server side run the same checks, or at
  least share a common subset.)  This would necessitate some
  reimplementation in Python, I expect.

  Mike K's busy right now, but he might be a good fit for figuring out
  use of forest for a split tree...  since he's familiar with axework of
  that kind.

  I'll go pick something(s) from the list as well.

  No opinion, excepting that the hooks (which will be different for each
  of a developer repo, a privately-hosted project gate, and an
  opensolaris.org-hosted gate) are not in ON, but are of interest here.
