[egit-dev] Eating own dogfood

[Alex Blewitt <alex.blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

It seems at the moment that using eGit for eGit development also  
requires git under the covers; for example, the oft-used send-by-mail  
functionality. However, in the spirit of Eclipse development, what  
would be good would be to generate mailbox style attachments to  
bugzilla and then be able to apply them to a workspace without having  
to go by mail at all.

The impedance mismatch in this means that (a) it's less easy to do  
reply-to code reviews, and (b) adding the 'Signed-off-by' tagline is  
similarly less easy, unless you were to download/append/upload the  
patch (which seems like a waste of disk space).

What more do we need to be able to run eGit without dipping down into  
the git executable territory?
