Hi all,

I've set up the Camel 1.x branch here:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/camel/branches/camel-1.x

The idea is to be able to apply bug fixes to Camel 1.x while leaving new features and other API breaking stuff on the trunk. I think in most cases fixes will be happening on the trunk so I've set up svnmerge.py (http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py) to track commits from the trunk to the 1.x branch.

Example workflow:

1. You just committed a fix to the trunk in revision 123456 and think that it would be useful to Camel 1.5 users

2. svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/camel/branches/camel-1.x camel-1.x

3. In camel-1.x directory, you can get a list of commits available from the trunk

4. Merge your commit by running 'svnmerge.py merge -r 123456'

5. Resolve any conflicts in the merge

6. Commit it by running 'svn ci -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt'

7. If you have a JIRA associated with this fix, make sure it says fix for 1.5.1 and/or 2.0.0


Now, it may seem like a bit of work at first but I think the merge tracking will be very helpful later on. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns on this stuff. Or better yet, if you have ideas on how to make it better, let them be known! :)

Cheers,
Jon
