> Up until yesterday afternoon the Git plugin installed on our production 
> Jira 3.13.2 instance was not configured for the github nakamura repo and 
> was pointing to an outdated github repo for 3akai-ux.  I fixed both and 
> added a changeset link for each commit so that we can at least look at 
> code diffs.  3akai-ux is using the same root on the Wush box as was the 
> out-dated repo so I'll have to check with Wush about cleaning it out so 
> that nothing from Oszkar's old branch remains.

> But now that the Git plugin is working do we block the upgrade?  Say it 
> ain't so.
