Yes, trunk .xml files should be copied and committed into the 2.4 branch. Traditionally, documentation has been CTR (commit then review) even when the branch in question is RTC (review then commit). That is, while feature changes have to go through a peer review process prior to being committed, documentation, which by its nature discusses changes that have already been made, doesn't have to go through this process. However, when dealing with 2.2 vs trunk vs 2.4, it is critical to ensure that you're documenting functionality that actually exists in the branch in question, so it's a good idea to compare the English version of the .xml file in that branch to the one in the branch you've been working from, to ensure that you're not documenting features that aren't in 2.4 yet. -- Rich Bowen rbo...@rcbowen.com :: @rbowen rbo...@apache.org
