[ANNOUNCE] nbgit 0.1

Hello,

Alexander Coles and I are very pleased to announce the first release of nbgit, a git module for NetBeans. It uses the JGit library to interact with Git repositories, which means that it should be as cross-platform as it can get. Furthermore, both NetBeans 6.1 and 6.5beta should be supported, the last one only slightly tested though.

The project is still in an early development phase and many features are currently missing. However, nbgit 0.1 supports the most basic features of a NetBeans versioning module. This includes showing annotations for files and directories, viewing the status of tracked files, browsing differences (both in diff view and in the editor), committing, and more (see full list below).

Interested and *brave* people are encouraged to take it for a spin and report first impressions, problems, or hurrahs in the nbgit forum or the issue tracker on the Google Code project page.
