Sure, and I'm in favor of cleaning up feature branches by rewriting history prior to merging them into the mainline -- within reason and exercising caution with forced pushes. We just can't do that on `master`. So everybody be careful not to mess up `master`! :) ---- I've now edited CONTRIBUTING on both trunk and the 0.3 branch to provide instructions via Git exclusively, accessing the read-only mirror on git.apache.org. I'm can help with release_commands.pl as well, but the easiest way to make that happen will be to rewrite it while making a release. I'm happy to RM 0.3.3 once the Git transition is done.
