Re: [egit-dev] "Gerrit Configuration" missing during "Clone a Git Reposi

Hi EGit team,

 

I’m wondering, if the “Gerrit Configuration” [1] during “Clone a Git Repository” Wizard is gone with latest EGit versions. The last step in the wizard is simply not there anymore. It suddenly ends at the step “Local Destination” [2]. We are currently using EGit version 1.3.0.201202030921. Last version I remember, where I’ve used the dialog was some late 1.2 version.

 

Is it gone with 1.3, or any kind of regression?

 

Best Regards

Andreas

It moved to become a dialog on remote nodes in repositories view. 

Click "Gerrit Configuration..." on any remote displayed in repositories

view. We felt this page is disturbing for all EGit users not using

Gerrit. The dialog now also enables users to add more of these 

configurations for additional remote branches e.g. for release 

branches which so far was only possible using the generic 

configuration editor. We should update the user guide to explain

this change.

As EGit now exposes an extension point to more closely

integrate with repository providers like Gerrit, Github, Gitblit their

specific integrations can now expose specific configuration pages.

Mylyn Review's Gerrit connector will do this configuration 

automatically as soon as its implementation of the new extension 

point in the EGit import/clone wizard is available [1], this is planned 

for shortly after EGit has released its 1.3 release with Indigo SR2.
