I agree with Kevin that we should eschew vendor tags in the OpenJPA repository.

It should be sufficient to have maintenance folks know from which branch a maintenance release was cut (r547073, openjpa/trunk/ is really where you shipped from??? After creating a 1.1.0 tag?). And we now have trunk, 1.1.x, and 1.0.x branches as active code lines.

The only reason that I can think of to have a vendor tag is so you can do vendor maintenance in it. And I don't think we want to do that. If you need to make patches for specific customers, it seems that a local repository would be appropriate. And once the patch is verified to work, put the update into an Apache svn branch.

What do others think?

Wait a minute, Srinivasa. This doesn't seem right. I will admit that I didn't see your original posting asking for guidance, but I really don't think we want WebLogic, WebSphere, Geronimo, or any other vendor's specific
maintenance releases housed in the OpenJPA SVN repository.

It looks like WebLogic shipped something between the 0.9.7- incubating and the official 1.0.0 release. Is there some reason why you couldn't just support your WebLogic customers using the 1.0.x service stream? It would
seem that customers would appreciate using an official release (post
incubation) instead of the the one WebLogic initially shipped.

Do you need a complete branch? Or, are you just interested in tagging the
branch so that you can easily find the start of your service stream?

I think we need to do something different here. I don't like the approach
that you used.
