OK.  How about a merge?

I'd really like to see this in 6-STABLE.


Me too, but unfortunately it is difficult with some reasons
(detail information http://people.freebsd.org/~daichi/unionfs/).
Of course, our patch gives the conditions for integration of
-current OK. For -stable is BAD.

We must keep the API compatibility of command/library
for integration of -stable. With some technical/specifical
reasons, our improved unionfs has a little uncompatibility.

For the last time, integration of -stable will be left
to the judgment of src committers and others.

Right now, unionfs is somewhat usable for read-only purposes.  As
long as your work doesn't alter or break the behaviour of read-only
mounts, I think it's very much ready to go into CVS.  From there it
can get wider testing and review and be considered for 6-stable.
Since read-write support in the existing code is pretty much worthless,
I don't think that there will be a problem justifying the operational
changes that you describe in your documentation.
