It is not the question of trust. The rules are the same for everyone, they are not established by me. But I will follow them in any case. I may take time later to look at your code if you do not wish to do it.

Ok, thanks.

It does not seem wiser. You know the rules and you broke them. If you are wiser, you know the consequences. It means patches are not getting in. Changes in SVN must be clearly documented and fix one issue per commit. There will be no bulk changes in TemplaVoila SVN as there will be no such changes in the TYPO3 core. The rules are identical and they ensure stability and quality. I am sorry but you knew what you were doing. The whole situation is bad for the TV. TV could benefit from your changes if the were submitted to the bug tracker as I asked you from the very beginning: one issue per feature/fix. If you started bulk modifications, TV will not get your patches. I cannot risk. TV means too much for too many companies.
