IMO this is a "buglet" with http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html which I filed here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-10 If you're reading that for the first time, or even if you're an ASF member like me who hasn't dealt with incubation before, it doesn't give you a sense for which one is the best to use. If someone grants me the relevant SVN karma and points me to the right checkout url, I will fix this and the other two bugs I filed as well. -- David N.
