I think it's been replaced with a converted and merged InnoDB source
tree. So instead of InnoDB dev going on in a separate tree and then
occational giant "import innodb" changesets, InnoDB source is now just
directly merged into the MySQL tree.
I've seen evidence of this tracking through the logs of 5.5 at
least. My guess would be that this is the same for 5.1.
Of course, it would have been really nice if this was all explained on
internals@ for those of us closely following InnoDB development but I've
long since given up hope of internals@ being a list discussing, well,
development and internals.
