> to avoid accidentally checking in secrets, I keep auth keys for things like AWS in file called {{auth-keys.xml}} alongside the {{test/resources/core-site.xml}} file, then XInclude them. I also have a global gitignore set up ignore files with that name.
> I propose having a standard name for XML files containing such secrets (we could use auth-keys.xml or something else, and set up {{hadoop-trunk/.gitignore}} and {{svn:ignore}} to ignore them. That way, nobody else will check them in by accident
