John, sorry for the frustration.
No problem, I'm just trying to report back.
For now, please take the latest I-build toward M6 and use that as your
target.
I updated the wiki page Getting_the_source. Then read your note more
carefully ;-).
Clear localstorage as well, because we've had recent changes to cached
plug-in data.
This should work.
Two suggestions here. First please consider describing this as "Issue
localStorage.clear() in the firebug console, because otherwise its quite
a mystery. Second, we need a better solution to this kind of issue.
As Andrew mentioned, the git server code is dependent on jgit, and the
dependencies update rather frequently to pick up features and function
from jgit.
What this means to you is that the server must be updated more
frequently than in the past.
During M5, I was able to run M4 as my target for nearly the entire
milestone. During M6 development, I've found myself taking new target
platforms much more frequently.
We need a better solution for server update. Now I realize that orion
developers are probably not updating from the distributions. If you use
the source then you probably set the eclipse.ini values once in the
launch config. Confusing but one off and the thing you need to edit to
change the config is close by, on the drop down from the Run button. But
if you use the normal instructions you have to find and edit the
eclipse.ini each time you update.
Furthermore, each time you have to re-establish the client/server name
binding links and you have to update any bookmarks or url links you
used because the name binding link is not stable.
I think these little things are critical to keep early adopters on board.
