It is *NOT* in our best interests and practices for people to work in private on bulk code, and periodically submit big changes.  We want those changes made in public view in Subversion branches where the Community can see the work in progress, not when it is complete.  We need to reeducate people who believe otherwise.

I am saying that (a) the ASF has a uniform source control infrastructure, which is currently based on SVN servers, and (b) our practices mean that development is done in public, not done in private and submitted en masse as a fait accompli.  These statements are independent of the SCM technology used by the ASF.
