Re: [jgit-dev] Shallow fetching

[Vineet Sinha <vineet@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I head back from the Atlassian guys (see here: 
https://github.com/atlassian/org.eclipse.jgit-atlassian/commit/e28f504193673b3b7ffebc868f17b43ae982e80b#commitcomment-1216657 ).

They did confirm writing the code while working for Atlassian, and that Atlassian is interested in licensing the contributions under the Eclipse License.

I imagine the right next step would be for someone experienced in the JGit code to review the approach for the commit there - and I can look at doing any necessary modifications.

Regards,

Never seen it before. But to build from that code we need Atlassian to
confirm they wrote the code and are licensing it under the EDL.

I will try to get in touch with them.
