Claude Brisson commented on VELTOOLS-202:
-----------------------------------------

[~michael-o] Yes, I considered the one-tree approach. But since only the ja=
karta branch will have the new spring-mvc-velocity-view, better keep two br=
anches. It's easy snough to cherry-pick commits to backport them.
