[common] The act of telling someone everything one knows about a
particular topic or project. Typically used when someone is going to
let a new party maintain a piece of code. Conceptually analogous to
an operating system {core dump} in that it saves a lot of useful
{state} before an exit. "You'll have to give me a brain dump on
FOOBAR before you start your new job at HackerCorp." See {core dump}
(sense 4). At Sun, this is also known as TOI (transfer of
information).
