Below are some of the areas that needs work. Also take a look at JGit |
|
related issues in the EGit project: |

|
|
|
== Switch Branch == |
|
|
|
Switch to an existing branch, updating the working directory to match. |
|
|
|
Note that updating the working directory may require a 3 way merge |
|
if the working directory is dirty (git checkout -m). |
|
|
|
My usual git working style is to not switch branches with a dirty |
|
working directory; I always commit to the current branch before |
|
switching to a new one. I mention that because I assume it'll be |
|
easier to implement that workflow first; once you have commit |
|
capability, you can do that style of branch switching (either |
|
preventing the switch or doing an implicit commit when the working |
|
directory is dirty) without having to worry about merging. ''-- |

|
|
|
== Merge == |
|
|
|
Merging changes from one local branch to another. |
|
|
|
Again, like fetch I'd like to keep egit/jgit 100% pure Java and |
|
implement merge-recursive in Java. We may need to invoke RCS |
|
merge if Eclipse doesn't have its own 3 way file merge algorithm |
|
available, or do what core Git just did and implement a 3 way in |
|
memory merge algorithm. git-merge-recursive is only 1336 lines of C |
|
so it should not be too difficult to port the algorithm to pure Java. |
|
|
|
== SVN Integration == |
|
|
|
It would be swell -- but put it at the bottom of your priority list |
|
-- to have git-svn interoperability; sadly most of my git usage at |
|
the moment is in cloned svn repositories and it would be great if |
|
egit could do the right thing when the current git repo is cloned |
|
from svn. What "the right thing" is, exactly, is debatable, but I |
|
suppose some kind of integration with the Subclipse plugin is one |
|
possibility (and if nothing else, that plugin probably has code |
|
that can be reused.) I'd like to be able to update from and commit |
|
to the parent svn repository. ''-- Steven Grimm'' |
|
|
|
I'm considering this to be out of scope for the time being, but if |
|
someone takes it on and submits reasonable patches we'll include |
|
them. ''-- Shawn Pearce''
