Now that we have a nice clean SVN repo, can I just use svn diff and apply this patch myself?
And if so, what's the appropriate branch? branches/pd? branches / pd / pd-0.40-3?
I'd say, that as we now have no ACL anymore, care should be taken when working on the Pd sources itself. So far, Miller had his own section that was read-only for others. I think, as the mechanism to protect Miller's part is gone now, we need a policy instead how to achieve a similar kind of protection, and we probably need it soon. My suggestion would be to agree that only Miller commits to the "trunk" of "pd" and to create some similarily protected area for Miller's release branches.
Yeah, we just need to enforce the social rule about always asking permission before committing to someone else's area, on this list or directly. There isn't really a big threat to Miller's code since he maintains it in his own git repository. Changes committed to trunk/ pd would just be overwritten. And of course, we can always reverse the changes...
