Description Kilian Matt CLA 2011-02-03 17:21:11 EST
A versions connector for git, should also be provided.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-02-03 17:57:14 EST
I think we had at some point said that the EGit project would be the best place to host a Versions connector. This could make even more sense since EGit already has a Mylyn integration. Chris, Mik, what are your thoughts about it? We could also do an initial implementation in Mylyn and then move the code to EGit?
Comment 2 Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2011-02-03 18:08:16 EST
I don't mind starting out the work in Mylyn for now.
Comment 3 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-02-03 18:27:48 EST
Fine by me. Kilian, let's tag all related bugs as "[git]" so we can move them easily later on.
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-02-03 18:31:09 EST
Kilian, is it okay to rename the plug-in to org.eclipse.mylyn.git.core? Let me know if you have committed all outgoing changes I can do it directly in CVS to avoid polluting the Attic.
Comment 5 Kilian Matt CLA 2011-02-03 18:35:14 EST
Yeah, thats fine for me. Please go ahead.
Comment 6 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-02-03 19:03:50 EST
Done. Just a minor nit, but when creating new plug-ins, it's always best to copy an existing bundle to include all the right about files, build.properties, manifest settings etc.

It's also good to bring this up on a task before committing so we can go over the naming. I don't mean to discourage it I just want to make sure naming is consistent across the project and we include it in the build etc. right away.

The Git connector will be available from the weekly site when the next build completes.
