Yes, we should be dropping support for 3.2 now and supporting only 3.3 and 3.4 going forward. 3.2 is ancient and anyone who is serious aboug using Git with Eclipse really should be on a more current version of the tools. Same argument that Junio gave about not supporting Debian users who are still installing git 1.4.4.4 and hope it works; we suggest they install the 1.5.x based backport as soon as possible. Commercial Eclipse distributions that are still based upon 3.2 should be upgrading themselves to 3.3 real soon, and if not, their users should be forching them to do it. --=20 Shawn.
