Eclipse Git plugin now on Windows and it is committing too

Filed under: — site admin @ 00:09

The Git plugin for Eclipse is running on Windows. I had to drop the use of memory mapped I/O on the index for this to work since mapped files cannot be deleted on that platform. That and a few other smaller changes had to be done, e.g. there were a couple of places where I needed to convert backslash (\) to platform neutral ‘/’ which Git uses internally.

CRLF conversion is not yet done (any volunteers?). It should use the same principal logic as the real git When editing with only eclipse this is not so important since Eclipse keeps line endings and can be set to use Unix line endings on new files.


Dave Watson has implemented Commit available in the official master branch. He has more goodies coming like checkout and reset. I have tested and it looks very good.
