The reason that repo wasn't used anymore, is because e4 stuff is now 
usually directly done in the main platform.ui repo. For this experiment it 
is the right choice. I wouldn't start a new repo just for that, and 
"tools" repo is not the right place.

I would not call http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui.git/ our 
"regular" repo. See http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui.git/log/ 
it is rarely used these days. 

AFAIK the most activate repo is the e4 tools one, 
http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.e4.tools.git/ and most 
sub-projects go their own Git repo in the past, see 
http://git.eclipse.org/c/?q=e4

The disadvantage of using  
http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui.git/ might be that it 
contains a lot of outdated stuff. I personally do not even clone that repo 
anymore.

Best regards, Lars

Actually, I'm trying to contribute them directly to Platform first (cf 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=427768 ). Only when they're 
not considered as mature enough, the strategy is to put them in e4 
incubator.
What would be the benefit of yet-another-repo over contributing to the 
regular e4 repo?
