RepositorySelector.detachRepository, jetty-plus, gump and PatternLayout.test14

[Curt Arnold]

The most dreaded nightmare of a new committer is breaking the build.  I  
don't think that I have (and if so only log4j-tests), but I have been  
having intermittent problems with PatternLayoutTest.test14 and was  
trying to figure out if it was just me.

I was checking Gump and it looks like that log4j-tests haven't been  
running since August, see  
http://brutus.apache.org/gump/public/logging-log4j/log4j-tests/ 
index.html.

At least one reason for this failure is because jetty-plus no longer  
builds  
(http://brutus.apache.org/gump/public/jetty/jetty-plus/index.html)  
which appears to be due to detachRepository being added to the  
RepositorySelector interface back on 30 March 2004.  Don't know why we  
were able to build in August.

Was the change to the RepositorySelector an intentional break of  
earlier implementations of the interface?

p.s. when PatternLayoutTest.test14 fails for me, the output file is  
empty (the witness file isn't).  I think it is likely a configuration  
problem, but I have seen it pass then fail on the same checkout.
