Hello Jody

Thanks a lot for your email. There is a lot of content to think about. I can 
not 
really make a useful answer right now, since I still working on the referencing 
module. However there is a link I could submit:

The approach that I applied was to create a new JIRA task, "Consider leveraging 
geotidy in geotools". The issues that I fixed are still open on the GeoTools 
JIRA, but are linked to the above-cited task with a "depends on" link. So if 
you 
look at the task below:

     http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-2117

the "This issue is depended upon by" column gives you the issues fixed in 
geotidy.

In my understanding this is the way Sun works with OpenSolaris; developpers are 
on Mercurial but Sun uses Subversion for centralizing the code to be released. 
Other projects like OpenJDK are on Mercurial only, but I guess there is no 
clear 
rule and the decision to use a centralized repository (in addition of the 
distributed one) depends on each community...

        Regards,

                Martin
