But I guess this is something I have to try myself.
+1 For having git repo which we can try and test whether Egit is ready to go Alex > > Andrew > _______________________________________________ > linuxtools-dev mailing list > linuxtools-dev@eclipse.org > https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxtools-dev > _______________________________________________ linuxtools-dev mailing list linuxtools-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxtools-dev
