The difference was that the GIT provider was discussed and contributed via JIRA, like all other contributions. The other provider appeared, on trunk, completely unannounced. It's clearly a double standard to then turn around and say things like "Since when did accepting new bodies of code be decided between two people."

My point was not that you two decided to insert the code but that I objected and that didn't seem to matter at all. That was my point.

Your opinion does matter, and I'm still trying to sensibly discuss the reasons why they might make sense. Let's look for James to start those threads, if he hasn't been completely off-put from contributing at all by now.

What honestly bothers me is a company openly bitching in a sensationalistic fashion, and then wants to donate code again in a somewhat sensationalistic manner seems rather odd to me. Especially given the other options and five minutes after I provide an alternative which is the path we've been going down James just blasts the code in anyway appearing to be in a cone of silence with you.

I didn't even see the commit until after my first reply (for some reason it appeared in my mailbox late), and I've had no discussion with James about this that you haven't seen. I was kind of surprised too, and I think it was just a miscommunication.

And further to my point, because you guys initially didn't want to take the suggestion is that the sandbox is for Apache committers and James said in IRC that he didn't write that Wagon plugin. So I went and took a look at the code and it looks written primarily by one Sherali Karamov who has no CLA on file and he's not in the Atlassian CCLA. So again just looks a little rushed as you've insisted on this being the case for everything I've done lately but didn't check in this particular case. So what's the story here? Why is James checking in someone else's code as that's not the intent of the sandbox as far as we setup the parameters. I personally really don't like what just happened.

Yes, he has more paperwork to do, a point I made in this thread and on IRC. Rather than let there be any confusion, I just removed it from SVN.

Personally, I don't care either way if the work continues, it's not my itch. But I want to encourage contributions that make sense.

Just take a deep breath, enjoy the weekend, and let's revisit it later.
