I figured out the problem I had when testing the patched egit plugin. If I had installed egit from the update site I had to do more than just delete the jars -- I had to delete the whole feature from within Eclipse -- and then install the new plugin built from source. In figuring this out I ended up testing the original problem with the master branch from earlier today and didn't see the issue I originally reported. Did you already integrate the experimental patch? Here's a documentation patch: From feb1ae0ccf7f671506853f4f49e9041950404b3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Bannasch Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 11:51:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] clarify how to delete egit plugin when installing new build --- EGIT_INSTALL | 11 ++++++++++- 1 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/EGIT_INSTALL b/EGIT_INSTALL index 3a8f249..3a9c209 100644 --- a/EGIT_INSTALL +++ b/EGIT_INSTALL @@ -21,7 +21,16 @@ things.
