Just FYI, I dont know if this makes sense for this conversation. We have a
separate svn path for ofbiz and custom component, what I do is create a
symbolic link of my custom component into hot-deploy folder, this way there
are no issues of a code being committed to ofbiz because ofbiz & custom
component are into separate folders.
