Warnings/Caveats
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Symbolic links are not supported because java does not support it.
|
|
|
|
|
Such links could be damaged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Only the timestamp of the index is used by jgit check if the index
|
|
|
|
|
is dirty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Don't try the library with a JDK other than 1.6 (Java 6) unless you
|
|
|
|
|
are prepared to investigate problems yourself. JDK 1.5.0_11 and later
|
|
|
|
|
Java 5 versions *may* work. Earlier versions do not. JDK 1.4 is *not*
|
|
|
|
|
supported. Apple's Java 1.5.0_07 is reported to work acceptably. We
|
|
|
|
|
have no information about other vendors. Please report your findings
|
|
|
|
|
if you try.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- CRLF conversion is performed depending on the core.autocrlf setting,
|
|
|
|
|
however Git for Windows by default stores that setting during
|
|
|
|
|
installation in the "system wide" configuration file. If Git is not
|
|
|
|
|
installed, use the global or repository configuration for the
|
|
|
|
|
core.autocrlf setting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The system wide configuration file is located relative to where C
|
|
|
|
|
Git is installed. Make sure Git can be found via the PATH
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable. When installing Git for Windows check the "Run
|
|
|
|
|
Git from the Windows Command Prompt" option. There are other options
|
|
|
|
|
like the jgit.gitprefix system propety or Eclipse settings that can
|
|
|
|
|
be used for pointing out where C Git is installed. Modifying PATH is
|
|
|
|
|
the recommended option if C Git is installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- We try to use the same notation of $HOME as C Git does. On Windows
|
|
|
|
|
this is often not same value as the user.home system property.

|
|
|
|
|
Push via ssh, git and Amazon S3. JGit does not yet deltify
|
|
|
|
|
the pushed packs so they may be a lot larger than C Git packs.
