List Home]
First of all, hi! I just joined this list. I'm using git for my home projects where I'm doing a mix of Android, Linux, Windows dev, all in Eclipse using the CDT of course ;). I'll try to contribute as much as I can here to make sure egit rocks.
I'm not sure what state things are in and my early experiences with egit have driven me not to use it. Instead, I'm using msysgit and the git-gui that came with it. I haven't checked whether it comes with Linux, but I guess it does.
Well, checking the About for the GUI, I see that Shawn, you wrote it! Very cool. And I really like it so far. It lets me back out changes, which I needed to do tonight. I was then able to checkout, commit, and push my good changes with a few simple button clicks.
So the obvious question that came to my mind, and I'm not sure you guys have discussed this, but why doesn't egit have a Perspective that replicates the git-gui? This would be very similar to how the ClearCase Remote Client plug-in works which I also like (except for all the bugs). It lets you work directly with the files in the repository, just like git-gui does. And deals with the reality that not everything in your repo is an Eclipse IResource and even if it was, sometimes you need to work with the files in a more natural environment.
Anyway, just throwing it out there.
Doug.
