Re: [egit-dev] Egit and symlinks

I'm offering to help out here but I'd appreciate some input.

Resolving this is somewhat important to us and I wonder where my efforts helping out would be best spent. I see 6 changes after removing 'is:watched' but it doesn't say much about which ones are being worked at.

I saw a note that says " We did this for the Eclipse Platform in the ContainerTreeIterator". Is that change also needed for this to work? If so, with what version of the platform was that/will that be released?

Is there anything I can do to help getting this boat to shore? If so, how do I go about it so I resolve the most pressing issues first and don't engage in work that others are already doing?

Hi,

What's the current state of Egit with respect to symlinks on MacOSX/Linux? Are there any issues left to resolve when running Java 7 or is it supposed to work OK in every respect when the "optional Java 7 libraries" jgit feature is installed?

in master so far only basic access to Java 7 symlink support is available
in class org.eclipse.jgit.util.FileUtil . 

Besides that there are a number of open changes to support symlinks:

In addition we need a good number of additional tests to ensure that everything works
