Yes, or we can place them in their own repository. I have a
gluster-debug repository where I plan to put tools I use for debugging.
This repository may well live at the Gluster organization on GitHub too.

https://github.com/nixpanic/gluster-debug

Many of the tools we use for debugging should not be version specific,
so having them in the glusterfs repository might be a little awkward?

What are the opinions of others?

Thanks,
Niels
