I marked the batch transfer from "0.7.1" to "0.8.0" that I did as
silent. The other changes were as I was going through triaging each of
the issues to see whether they were going to be blockers or reasonably
easy to implement for 0.8.0. I probably should have gone through the
same batch interface for that as well so I could select silent for the
0.8.0 to 0.9.0 transfers.

I would like to wait until Sesame-2.7.0 comes out before integrating
Lev's patches, as it would be nice to be able to use the new
ParserConfig/ParserSetting work that I put into 2.7.0 to make it
easier to configure the large number of options for Lev's RDFa Parser.
The main blockers for Sesame-2.7.0, getting SPARQL-1.1 and Turtle up
to date, have been completed, but I am not sure what the stability
timescale will be for the RepositoryConnection/Sail transaction
changes.

I am not familiar with this process either, but it is a common case
that should be available in a "StaticFileServlet" somewhere,
hopefully.

Sounds good.
