Dave,
I have spent around 30 minutes trying to grok this format, and I cannot
quite figure how how to sent tools/build/v2 directory to master branch
of "build" repo, while sending everything else from trunk/tools/build
into some other branch.
If the change is easy, as you make it sound, can either you or Daniel make it?
Thanks,
Volodya
