Dear list,

I just had a giggle and thought I'd share it with you.

By pure chance, I stumbled upon this project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/javagit/. It sports 12 members, has a Subversion repository (!) and aims to simplify working with Git using Java by providing an easy API to the Git commands.

It seems to be pretty close to http://sourceforge.net/projects/gitclipse, which has only 8 members, however. At least they do something very new, namely bringing Git to Eclipse. ;-)

Of course, all that without so much as saying "Hi" on the Git mailing list. Tsk, tsk.

Ciao, Dscho "who's whistling 'jgit, egit, jgit, egit, jaaaay-git!'"

P.S.: It is also quite a miracle to me how javagit can be LGPL, being pretty much tied to Git, which is GPL. And it is an even bigger miracle to me how gitclipse, linking to javagit, can be EPL...

I think we already discussed this project back in August:

Heh, I had forgotten about that, even if I participated in the discussion, praising jgit.

Oh well, Dscho
