My first contact with egit was with the version that comes with fedora. I tried to "checkout" a git project in many ways but none seemed to work. Only a week later I read somewhere on the web that I had to import an already cloned repo into eclipse and then go to Team -> Share Project.

So, to make it easier for new users coming from cvs or svn, my current idea is to add a Git Repository Exploring Perspective and as soon as possible give an warning that clone isn't there yet and how the user should proceed. Would it be ok?

[]s, Roger.

Yes, but what infrastructure would that exploring facility work on? Known gitweb's?

Anyway, by that time my fetch might be there. I was thinking about integrating it with File/Import and add a new Git>Clone source and just have a dialog where one could paste a URL-ish, user/password, or ssh public key. If you want to have go at the dialog, I'd appreciate that.

I need to do at least basic local ref management in the fetching first, and maybe some more test cases. Speed is slightly slower than the C version, but not terribly so.

I didn't really think about implementing anything for the exploring facility, at least not now. At the moment I like your dialog idea a lot more, so I'll give it a try.

Eclipse has the cheat sheet thing that I've never dug into so far.
