Thanks! I was able to use your patch to get things off the ground. I
had to fix the EGit feature also to not bundle the JGit feature.

I attached a new patch for people to try:

I would be interested :)

I think the basic problem here was that org.codehaus.tycho was the wrong groupID for target-platform-configuration. 
This was inspired by outdated documentation at https://docs.sonatype.org/display/TYCHO/Dependency+on+pom-first+artifacts

I found a way to build a combined update site containing both the JGit and the EGit feature. 
See patch set 7 at http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,206 

The only open question is how to achieve a proper version for the bundle org.eclipse.jgit, currently the maven
build puts org.eclipse.jgit_0.6.0.qualifier.jar instead we would want to replace .qualifier by the build time stamp
as this is done for the EGit bundles built by Tycho.
