First, if we populate the repo via a push, will that result in thousands of emails to commits@lucy? I think the commit hook will bail out, but I don't know that for sure. <http://s.apache.org/Vyp>. Second, the tgz suggestion was partially motivated to so that others might help out with QC. ASF Git repos have receive.denyNonFastforwards set for the master branch, so once we're set up there's no going back without Infra's intervention. http://git-scm.com/book/ch7-1.html#Server-Configuration To be honest, it's really hard to QC history, so I'm not sure how much help having other people look things over would be. I think we basically have to entrust ourselves to the person doing the work. But you're among the most reliable of all the developers I know, so if anybody is going to take on a task like this, I'm glad it's you. Marvin Humphrey
