11 Which is why I made the rewrite code able to run from the checkout fully
12 and properly. Just cd into the directory, run "source ./testpath" and
13 it's will run completely from the checkout.

21 I don't want to discourage others either. It is just much better to
22 encourage some help on the rewrite in my opinion. Especially since
23 patches 2 & 3 have already been done in the rewrite branch. Some of
24 patch 4 might have been done already, but likely not all. If the
25 rewrite is to take over from the master branch...
26
27 The rewrite is not far from being able to take over as master. There
28 are a few rebase errors in the rewrite-on-master you did. There is some
29 cleanup work to do on the autoresume operation. Then a little more
30 testing with the tree defaults relocated to ensure I haven't missed any
31 hard coding.
32
33 The default tree location move is waiting on the catalyst rewrite code
34 to go live producing stages, etc..
