Subject: [Swift-devel] new commits

hi all, i have a fix to swift that allows the jobName parameter to be passed to GRAM (so the job name actually shows up in the queue). this will be my first commit to the cog/swift source so i want to know where the best place is to do this? i'd like it to be in the stable release so that it's there when we update. my user group (HNL) has been using the stable branch with this fix added for several months so it's pretty well-tested. 

i guess the question is would it be best to commit this to the development code (which as i understand is cogkit/trunk/current) to be migrated to the stable code (cogkit/branches/4.1.7) in the near future when we decide to update the stable branch?
