EGit - Git Team Provider 1.2.0
Categories:
EGit is an Eclipse Team provider for the Git version control system. Git is a distributed SCM, which means every developer has a full copy of all history of every revision of the code, making queries against the history very fast and versatile. The EGit project is implementing Eclipse tooling on top of the JGit Java implementation of Git.

Problem with symbolic links in Eclipse
Hi,
first: thanks for the great tool! But I want to report a Bug.
I cloned an svn repository to an git repository with git svn clone. In this svn repository I have a lot of symbolic links. These symbolic links are symbolic links on the local filesystem after cloning. These symbolic links are not a problem for the normal git console. If you type:
git status
you will get the message: "nothing to commit (working directory clean)"
But if you go into eclipse and click "commit" you get a list with hundreds of symbolic links. The "status" column tells you for everey symbolic link: "Rem., not staged".
If you commit the selected symbolic links and click commit again, egit wants to add all files of the project again to the repository. It is a very bad idea to do a commit of these unchanged symbolic links.
At the moment I click on "deselect all" and select my changed files but this is very annoying ;).
Best think would be: Ignoring the symlinks. You cannot change the symlinks with eclipse so you do not have to commit them to git. Maybe it could be a checked checkbox in the commit window.
Thanks

Ready to use
While it still has a 0.x version number is ready for use. It provides access to most git functionality in the "Eclipse way", nicely integrated.
There are still some rough edges, but starting with 0.11.x we are using it in our development team for the every day jobs without problems. And it is getting better with every version. Keep up the good work!
I only miss some more integration with Gerrit. Although Gerrit and git are two different things, eGit provides some integration with Gerrit and I would love to see more.
