Hi Alistair,
I think you just import my code from ceph-dokan and don't know
where is the most difficulties in merging upstream ceph.
File structure is not problem, the difficulties is the code in
include/common/msg/osd/mon/mds is very different from upstream.
If I try to merge ceph-dokan into upstream, the merge work will
affect the upstream developing a lot.
So now I just update the ceph-dokan with upstream ceph, and add
most of the client-side code in ceph-dokan. With this work, I will
also try to refactor the code modifed for mingw and make it more
similar to upstream.
Also mingw is on developing, in the latest relase ceph-dokan can
reduce many ugly mod for mingw. So we can wait for mingw to be more
stable for a while.
And after these work, it will be the timing for merging into upstream.
