Re: [ptp-user] git and git-upload-pack over and over...

Thanks John for the information, background, and writing the bug.

Unfortunately I can't remove the remnants of the build, so there are
binaries
and other gorp that is probably causing most of my headaches. Is there a
mechanism to display more status more often of what file is being synched
so
I can see where I am in the process?

On a side issue, now I've got the project initially synched. Next I went
on the remote system and added a file or two. [It's just what I had to do.]
When I return to the local Eclipse side and issues a Synchronization >
Sync All Now nothing happens. That is, no progress whatsoever shows in the
Progress view. It's as if the local system no longer knows about the remote
one. So I stopped and started Eclipse, but no change. Is there a more
forceful way to say please sync the two on my local Eclipse system?
