Description Paul Webster CLA 2011-06-10 11:21:20 EDT 
The IFetchFactory was originally written to use the command line.  With bug 321237 now fixed, it can use the git ant tasks (backed by JGit) and work with any standard basebuilder.

That is true, not sure we have all the Ant commands in place yet but they are pretty easy to add. We currently only have clone, checkout and branch if I recall.
Comment 2 Paul Webster CLA 2011-06-10 11:48:49 EDT 
Sure... I did a quick look, and the current fetch factory uses:

git clone
git fetch
git checkout

So we'd need equivalent tasks to get started.

Just for completeness, we're talking about git://egit.eclipse.org/egit-pde.git

Any plans on fixing this? 
To me this is a blocker for migrating from cvs to git, because we are building on a windows machine with msysgit and want to access the git repo over ssh with public keys. But git+ssh only works on windows, when calling: 
$PATH_TO_MSYSGIT\sh.exe -login -i -c git
so if the egit fetchfactory tries to call 'git' on my machine, that won't work as expected.
