Hi guys,

As I work through the Coverity Scan results of MariaDB's trunk, I find
myself having to research what some functions do, and the meanings of
their parameters and return values.  Rather than just recording what I
learn on a piece of paper, I thought it might be nice to write Doxygen
comments for some of those functions / structs / etc.  That way,
perhaps other persons trying to learn the code base could benefit.

Here's the problem.  Based on Monty's blog posting about MariaDB 10
vs. MySQL 5.6 ( http://blog.mariadb.org/mariadb-10-0-and-mysql-5-6/ ),
it's not obvious to me which files / functions / etc. in MariaDB have
been forked from MariaDB, vs. which ones will be replaced with the
corresponding MySQL code when the next MySQL release comes out.  This
means that when I write Doxygen comments for a given file / function
/struct / etc., I don't know whether to submit that comment patch to
the MariaDB project or to the MySQL project.

Does anyone know I I can figure that out?

Thanks,
Christian
