All devs use Eclipse, and its featureful CVS plugin. As for myself, I also write to the CVS tree, but in a CVS-to-git-to-CVS cycle (I don't use Eclipse but command line). I have talked about git, shown some of its capabilities, and my boss agreed to give it a shot, but with the following conditions: * it must provide CVS access (branching and tagging included), as a transition measure; * there must be an Eclipse plugin. I have successfully imported all CVS modules into an equivalent number of git repositories so far. Unfortunately, I have two problems: * the git-cvsserver does not support branching and tagging; * I have successfully built the Eclipse plugin (Java 6, Eclipse 3.4), but am unable to make it clone a repository and see it in a project, despite quite a few hours googling around (it _does_ clone, I see the repo in the workspace; but it's invisible within Eclipse). Is branching and tagging support a planned feature for git-cvsserver? Also, is there a step-by-step guide on using egit to clone an existing repository? (I'm a total beginner with Eclipse, so it may well be that I need to google some more.) Thanks, -- fge
