Oleg and I sorted out the misunderstanding offline. It's all good.

Brett,
Trust me, I don't enjoy this discussion no more that you, but I have
to respond.

I'm sorry you lost some time investigating it, but I made every

At the time I made the change, I cleaned out the checkout and did a
build without getting any test errors. This was confirmed by the
grid: https://grid.sonatype.org/ci/view/Mercury/job/mercury-ant/6/
It appears your change to test using compilation was only checked
in afterwards. I'm afraid I'm still working on my ability to
predict the future :)
This statement suggests that I am a dumb coder, who submits tons of
jars to SVN for the pleasure of just having them there. I admit that
I did not commit the tests using those jars right away.
But give me some credit: everything has a reason. And if this reason
is not clear - ask, don't assume you know everything and can improve
without knowing. I did acknowledge your suggestion about the size of
test repo, and started fixing it. If you would have just suggested
the solution, provided a script in jira - that would only raise a
lot of gratitude.
But hindering a pre-alpha quality project by assuming things and
changing still unstable data, this is simply not fair. Losing a day
over such a trivial matter - I simply did not expect anyone to do
such a thing.
I apologize if this sounds harsh, but believe me - the sole purpose
is to improve our process, make sure that this does not happen in
the future.
So the proposal is: change the rules to say the following: "if you
don't work on an actively developed project - don't start modifying
it without consulting the team, working on it. If you do find a bug
or improvement - communicate with developers via issue tracking
system and other means" This is not predicting the future - just
common sense.
Thanks,
Oleg
