Hi Sim, I think the thing to do would be to anonymous check out the code, make the changes and then generate a patch which can then be attached to the Jira issue.
Before you spend a lot of time on it though, I seem to recall that someone somewhere has already done some work on this. I'm not sure who or where you'd find the resources though. It might be worth digging around. Also, I vaguely remember someone saying that there is some package names strings dotted around in reflection code and similar which would also need to be changed. So just doing an IDE "right-click --> refactor" probably wouldn't be enough. Also, also, the examples config files and qa tests would probably need work. If your IDE has a "replace in all files" function then this would likely suffice, at least for the config files. If you're still willing to go through all that, then brilliant! Many thanks!

It involves access to SVN, pref in branch, which can be merged to the trunk after review. Shall i checkout as anonymous, and do the work, tar the tree and attach it to a jira issue, (check the ASF flag,) let a committer do the commit after svn diff? Gr.
