Hello: I am a committer on Eclipse and several Eclipse-related projects, as well as the admin (and a mentor too) for the Eclipse summer of code program. My day job is about the same: Eclipse and tools for paying customers :-) I met Shawn Pearce and Johannes Schindelin this week-end at Google for the Summer of Code mentor summit. Incidentally a week before I had tried git for the 1st time, out of need trying to build an eclipse plugin available only through git (http://robrohan.com/projects/afae/ ) After a few minutes I was checking out and building more git stuffs including egit of course.

I basically fell in love with Git, just like that. I am frightened -- like when you fall in love-- about the power and implications of a distributed version control system :-P

Being an Eclipse and tools guy, I'll try to help on the egit and java git side (for non eclipse based java tools) . I have played a little experience with team support in Eclipse, and high expectations for egit from using things such as the CVS, Subclipse and Subversive plugins for Eclipse.

One of the ideas Shawn and I floated was that we could work towards making egit an official Eclipse project. Being somewhat plugged at Eclipse, I can help broker that, if it makes sense for the git community. I look forward to the discussion there.

I think this would go a long way to attract more committers on egit, and make git a very accessible tool to millions of Eclipse users. I will also make egit installers available through the easyeclipse distro I maintain.

Git rulez!

We know how you feel :)

I'm all ears.

Then you might want to look at a problem I had with the update-site in the egit repo. I can only locate the plugin as a new plugin. Upgrade won't find it.
