Commit summary:

Committing a non-working untested copy of the first go at this extension, 
mostly so we have a checkpoint to look at/review, and also to make sure commit 
access works.

Comment:

So did you copy the extension on your local system, modify it, then commit it? 
That's the worst thing you could've done with regards to preserving history. 
You should use svn copy to make sure the history is preserved, and you 
shouldn't copy and modify in the same revision.

I outlined this in an e-mail I sent to Fabrice and Yoni on October 25th:
<blockquote>
Also,
please use svn copy to fork the extension, and svn rename to rename
the files in your copy; that way history is preserved. Also, do not
copy/rename and change a file in the same commit, doing so makes
review harder. All this means you'll probably need 3 commits to fork
the extension: one for a verbatim copy, one to rename all the files,
and one to update the contents of the files to match the changed
extension name, file names, prefixes, etc.
</blockquote>

Please revert this revision and execute the clone properly. If you have trouble 
doing these things, I'm willing to do it for you.
