Can you elaborate on "if it worked that well"?

Thanks, I'll check them out.

JGit does not pass tests on Mac OS X under Maven.  The same tests
run fine when run from the Eclipse JUnit runner on Mac OS X, and
pass on Linux.

The failing tests are all encoding related.  This situation has
been going on for a long time, longer than we have been hosted at
Eclipse.org.  Although I carry a Mac OS X laptop, I have no idea
what the hell is wrong with the tests...

So Jason will likely have a bit of an uphill battle here, as simply
skipping the test is a bad idea.
