The README is out of date. Push is implemented, works, and folks actually use it. That was a nice success from our GSoC program this year.

I don't think you can edit saved configurations in the plugin UI. The APIs are there underneath to do the reading/writing and most of the UI to show a configuration is present, I just don't think anyone has wired the two together for saved configurations inside of .git/config. So yea, edit by hand.

Not in Eclipse, no.

Not in Eclipse, no.
