I am definitely open to changing the name of the branch to conform to the conventions. As far as the intent in creating the branch - it was to start-off from the revision of OpenJPA that was used for a Weblogic release, and only include vital non-intrusive changes that would help in maintenance releases.

Vendor tags in the Apache SVN repository should be avoided. I'm also leery of adding another branch to maintain. Patrick alluded to potentially dangerous changes which went into the 1.0.x branch which caused some concern for BEA. I'm guessing that rev 547073 is a point in time before similar changes went in. If that's the motivation for creating a branch I'm not entirely opposed to it, but it should fit in with the rest of our naming conventions. I checked out rev 547073 and pom.xml lists the version as 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT. Any branch made at this point would be between 0.9.7 and 1.0.0. I'd suggest a name of 0.9.x for the new branch. The poms should be rolled back and so on - might have to do something to make OpenJPAVersion look correct to BEA customers though. Without looking at the differences between 547073 and 1.0.0 I can't say whether we really need this branch. I am not opposed to creating one but it should fit the naming conventions we've laid out.
