Maybe two branches in the netbeans repo?

one orphaned branch just to put the donated code in it's form as it was donated, then it could be merged into an integration branch which is branched from the master.

If a branch in the main repository is OK for the IP Clearance process,
then that is obviously the easiest solution.

Or maybe a branch of our mainline?

  Your plan sounds great. Maybe one of our several existing repos could be
  used.

  Hi,
  Seems there may be some progress on cleaning up the C/C++ code, so I
  wanted
  to check what is the best/correct way to proceed.

  Obviously, this needs to go through the IP Clearance. At the same time, it
  is IMO not realistic to expect a single person will be able to prepare all
  CND for IP Clearance in one step (that includes cleaning dependencies and
  license headers).

  So, I wonder if the following process would fit:
  1. have a vote here, about accepting the donation
  2. have a development repository, like apache/netbeans.cnd, where the
  preparation for IP Clearance would take place. Presumably, we would add
  some warnings into to the README, like "Unfinished work on donation,
  didn't
  go through the IP Clearance yet."
  2a. if it is not possible to have it under Apache NetBeans, maybe it can
  be
  under Incubator?
  3. do (finish) the cleanup
  4. have the IP Clearance vote on Incubator
  5. merge CND into the mainline

  Any comments on this? How should be large-scale donations like CND
  handled?

  Thanks,
       Jan
