I updated the wiki page to reflect reality. So it should
now state which Eclipse versions EGit is currently supporting.

EGit committers: please review what I wrote here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/FAQ#What_versions_of_Eclipse_does_EGit_target.

AFAIK we agreed on the following policy:
--------------------------------------------------------
"In general EGit promises to support at least the latest
two Eclipse releases (currently this is 3.6.2 "Helios SR2"
and 3.7.1 "Indigo SR1").

If possible we will not prevent usage in older releases
but if we want to take advantage of new functionality
only available in one of the latest two Eclipse releases
but not in older releases we will update dependencies
which will in fact discontinue support for older releases."
--------------------------------------------------------


I am not sure if we should add a paragraph for support of
Eclipse 4.x releases.


If any EGit committer has a different opinion please raise
your hand.
