[webkit-dev] Moving source code to Sources

Actually what I was thinking was using externals to present the new tree
instead of moving stuff around. People with patches could still use the
current tree until their current patches are all ready and submitted. Folks
patching against the externals would automatically get them through the
regular svn update. After some transition time once everyone is settled
against the externals do the actual move. The tree may look a little messy
for a while though.
Regards,
Carl

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll read up on svn:externals.  One thing
we were thinking about doing was teaching svn-apply how to merge the
patches automatically.  That would help make the move less painful for
folks who have patches in flight.
