[Opensim-dev] Inteop patch Mantis#1696

[Charles Krinke]

In the past, our strategy for applying patches has been:

1) They apply. 
2) They compile 
3) They do not cause angst amongst core developers 
4) They do not cause complaints about things breaking from users.

This strategy has been able to keep us from branching at the cost of some chaos from time to time.

If the interop patch does not make it past item 3, so be it. But, maybe there is a subset of the interop patch that can be rationalized meets all four criteria.

Just say no to svn branches!

Honestly, if this stuff isn't tracking with trunk, then it's useless.
Every use of a branch in the past history of OpenSim has been to replace
trunk, merging from branches in svn is just too painful.

Personally, I'm with Mike.  There is nothing to discuss until this is
publicly testable code.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
