Using tools designed for use on a unix command line in a highly interactive environment like Eclipse would produce an abominably clunky result. Presumably you think this is the Unix way. I have already explained all the pragmatic reasons for doing a GIT implementation in Java but you are prepared to ignore all of those reasons. You have ignored all these reasons rather than lift a finger to compose a well-reasoned rebuttal. Instead you cling to a dogmatic insistence that GIT respositories only be accessed via the C toolsets. David, you are being extremely childish and extremely dogmatic.
