It would be nice to work entirely within Eclipse. A very recent update to msysgit (not git core and hence not cygwin) might help there. Windows locks files when reading and the Eclipse plugin reads things from the repo when changes are detected to see if anything interesting is there. The fix in msysgit retries certain operations a number of times if they fail with access denied, which is what you get if the file is open for reading. Built-in pull is not there just yet. -- robin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
