Here's some clarification for anyone who might want to know: Only committers on the Apache Lucene/Solr project can make changes to the repo. Until recently, the official source repository for the project was contained in Apache's subversion repository. We have completed a switch to git. If you are not familiar with github or have no interest in using it, you can provide a patch directly via an issue in Jira. Most likely that patch will be generated with a "git diff" command. The github repository is a mirror of the official Apache git repository. It used to be a mirror of the subversion repository. This exists so that people who are familiar with github are able to use that website like they would for projects whose official residence is github. We do ask that people open an issue in Jira, even if they use github to make a pull request.
