| The Hive code is pulled in via an SVN external definition. This allows |
| us to have a local version of hive to build against, including an |
| up to date trunk version, without needing to fork the code. |
| |
| The external definition is pegged to an SVN revision, so that |
| changes in Hive's code base do not cause suprising changes in HCatalog. |
| The SVN revision should be updated regularly. |
| |
| For release branches, the SVN revision should be pegged against a Hive release |
| tag. |
| |
| The external definition can be edited by doing: |
| |
| svn propedit svn:externals hive |
| |
| in the top level directory. |
