Welcome Piotr! 

Your proposal looks good. While we have
some minimal Git functionality in place right now, there are certainly
lots of missing little pieces, so your contribution will be greatly appreciated.
I just wanted to quickly point you at our wiki for some background wiki,
and especially the development principles section:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Development_principles

It will help you understand the philosophy
underlying the current design and architecture. One other bit of advice
for Git work in particular: as with Eclipse desktop, we want to enable
Orion to be used with a variety of different SCMs. Git is our first example
because that is the SCM we happen to be using at eclipse.org. This means
we should avoid tying Git functionality too closely with other general
functionality. This is one reason you see most of the Git support is on
separate pages from the editing and navigation pages (this also relates
to the "Task focused" development principle. We should also always
keep in mind what parts of the SCM functionality might later be generalized
to be used by other SCMs. Where possible we should keep "generic SCM"
functionality separate from "Git specific" functionality.

Anyway, welcome to Orion, and feel free
to use this list for any general Orion questions you might have. You can
also catch some of us on IRC (see link from the Orion wiki).
