Tycho isn't production ready for projects like JGit to be using as
their primary build driver. Some problems we ran into with Tycho
0.6.0 that are preventing us from using it are:
* Tycho can't run offline
The P2 artifact resolver cannot perform its work offline. If the
build system has no network connection, it cannot compile a
project through Tycho. This is insane for a distributed version
control system where developers are used to being offline during
development and local testing.
* Magic state in ~/.m2/repository/.meta/p2-metadata.properties
Earlier iterations of this patch tried to use a hybrid build,
where Tycho was only used for the Eclipse specific feature and P2
update site, and maven-bundle-plugin was used for the other code.
This build seemed to work, but only due to magic Tycho specific
state held in my local home directory. This means builds are not
consistently repeatable across systems, and lead me to believe
I had a valid build, when in fact I did not.
* Manifest-first build produces incomplete POMs
The POM created by the manifest-first build format does not
contain the dependency chain, leading a downstream consumer to
not import the runtime dependencies necessary to execute the
bundle it has imported. In JGit's case, this means JSch isn't
included in our dependency chain.
* Manifest-first build produces POMs unreadable by Maven 2.x
JGit has existing application consumers who are relying on
Maven 2.x builds. Forcing them to step up to an alpha release
of Maven 3 is simply unacceptable.
* OSGi bundle export data management is tedious
Editing each of our pom.xml files to mark a new release is
difficult enough as it is. Editing every MANIFEST.MF file to
list our exported packages and their current version number is
something a machine should do, not a human. Yet the Tycho OSGi
way unfortunately demands that a human do this work.
* OSGi bundle import data management is tedious
There isn't a way in the MANIFEST.MF file format to reuse the
same version tags across all of our imports, but we want to have
a consistent view of our dependencies when we compile JGit.
After wasting more than 2 full days trying to get Tycho to work,
I've decided its a lost cause right now. We need to be chasing down
bugs and critical features, not trying to bridge the gap between
the stable Maven repository format and the undocumented P2 format
used only by Eclipse.
So, switch the build to use Apache Felix's maven-bundle-plugin.
This is the same plugin Jetty uses to produce their OSGi bundle
manifests, and is the same plugin used by the Apache Felix project,
which is an open-source OSGi runtime. It has a reasonable number
of folks using it for production builds, and is running on top of
the stable Maven 2.x code base.
With this switch we get automatically generated MANIFEST.MF files
based on reasonably sane default rules, which reduces the amount
of things we have to maintain by hand. When necessary, we can add
a few lines of XML to our POMs to tweak the output.
Our build artifacts are still fully compatible with Maven 2.x, so
any downstream consumers are still able to use our build products,
without stepping up to Maven 3.x. Our artifacts are also valid as
OSGi bundles, provided they are organized on disk into a repository
that the runtime can read.
With maven-bundle-plugin the build runs offline, as much as Maven
2.x is able to run offline anyway, so we're able to return to a
distributed development environment again.
By generating MANIFEST.MF at the top level of each project (and
therefore outside of the target directory), we're still compatible
with Eclipse's PDE tooling. Our projects can be imported as standard
Maven projects using the m2eclipse plugin, but the PDE will think
they are vaild plugins and make them available for plugin builds,
or while debugging another workbench.
This change also completely removes Tycho from the build.
Unfortunately, Tycho 0.6.0's pom-first dependency resolver is broken
when resolving a pom-first plugin bundle through a manifest-first
feature package, so bundle org.eclipse.jgit can't be resolved,
even though it might actually exist in the local Maven repository.
Rather than fight with Tycho any further, I'm just declaring it
plugina-non-grata and ripping it out of the build.
Since there are very few tools to build a P2 format repository, and
no documentation on how to create one without running the Eclipse
UI manually by poking buttons, I'm declaring that we are not going
to produce a P2 update site from our automated builds.

This makes the jgit command line behave like the C Git implementation
in the respect.
These variables are not recognized in the core, though we add support
to do the overrides there. Hence other users of the JGit library, like
the Eclipse plugin and others, will not be affected.
GIT_DIR
The location of the ".git" directory.
GIT_WORK_TREE
The location of the work tree.
GIT_INDEX_FILE
The location of the index file.
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
A colon (semicolon on Windows) separated list of paths that
which JGit will not cross when looking for the .git directory.
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY
The location of the objects directory under which objects are
stored.
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES
A colon (semicolon on Windows) separated list of object directories
to search for objects.
In addition to these we support the core.worktree config setting when
the git directory is set deliberately instead of being found.

Not all of our test cases really require the sample data packs,
and we are better off not using them because its hard to see exactly
what condition a test is testing when looking only at the Java code.
Clarify the dependency by only making the packs available when
there is a real need for it.

This test depends upon the external git binary, and this isn't
really a pure Java test like our module tries to claim itself is.
So we move it out to exttst with other tests that require additional
external resources and/or executable code.

Drop our simple and stupid jgit.sh and instead rely upon Maven
for the command line based build. Maven is relatively simple to
download and install, and doesn't require the entire Eclipse IDE.
To avoid too much refactoring of the current code we reuse the
existing src/ directory within each plugin, and treat each of
the existing OSGI bundles as one Maven artifact.
The command line wrapper jgit.sh no longer works in the uncompiled
state, as we don't know where to obtain our JSch or args4j from.
Developers will now need to compile it with `mvn package`, or run
our Main class from within an IDE which has the proper classpath.

According the javadoc, and implied by the name of the class, NB
is about network byte order. The purpose of moving the IO only,
and non-byte order related functions to another class is to
make it easier for new contributors to understand that they
can use these functions in general and it's also makes it easier
to understand where to put new IO related utility functions

Honor the configuration parameter core.logAllRefUpdates when writing
reflogs. Instead of writing reflog entries always only write
reflogs if this parameter is set to true or if the corresponding
file in the <git-dir>/logs directory already exists. In other words:
if you are updating a ref and this parameter is set to false and
there is no file corresponding to your ref in the <git-dir>/logs
folder then no reflog will be written.
This is a fix for the issue http://code.google.com/p/egit/issues/detail?id=4
