If you mean egit, it doesn't look dead to me with the last commit two weeks ago and the last release two months ago: http://repo.or.cz/w/egit.git I'm not sure about the mainstream use, but projects in useless state don't normally make releases. > > Where as CVS and SVN works nicely.

The git-cvsserver even mentions the Eclipse plugin. But perhaps we shouldn't enable git-cvsserver support in the main repository. It would be useful on local branches that get reviewed before merging. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
