[pkg-jboss-maintainer] Importing full sources into svn

[Marcus Better]

How do you guys feel about importing the upstream source into SVN? I
would like to use branches for packaging work and get rid of dpatch.

The reason is that using dpatch for a project of this size is really
awkward, with all the copying of working trees. It would be much nicer,
IMHO, to use svn branches (aka "feature branches") for the various sets
of changes, then merge those branches onto the trunk. I've used this
method successfully with a few packages, such as tikiwiki (you can see
the layout at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-tikiwiki/branches/feature/ ).

Some people object to this method though. See this thread for more details:
