I wrote a very quick and dirty fetch factory to allow PDE build to
work using map files with a git://... URL.  It just parses the input
and fires off a git co command:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289838

It does require git repositories at the project level though as PDE
build seems to expect to be able to check-out individual projects. If
we have git repos containing more than one project I'm not sure how
that would work.

Presumably the egit/jgit guys have solved this problem for their releng?

Cheers,
