In the past, Lucene has always pushed patches, but I know I've argued for branches too. Either way, you end up doing work to merge. Personally, I feel so comfortable with patches these days that I rarely think of branching, but that isn't to say it is wrong or that someone else prefers that way. While I like to keep trunk working, etc. no one says it has to be perfect, so if you feel something is ready to commit, then do so. You're more likely to get more eyeballs on trunk than on a branch, I think, and as long as it is worked out by the next release, I don't know if it matters.

Grant is the process meister here, but what you say is close.

I'm into that. What's the ideal relation between branches and
releases? So I put this in a branch, work on it for a bit, then
re-integrate before 0.2? I don't want to be disruptive but also want
to take advantage of the flexibility we have in the early stages of
the project to push big change into the main branch quickly.

Should this be a branch?
