txs 4 pointing this out.

I'm not sure what JGit specific settings you speak about?

In fact the fix of the PathSuffixTestCase came a few days later after I found the reason why I miss a few tests. This should be fixed in the current master anyway and has not so much todo with the mavenization itself.

I had the following in mind: every single commit should be compileable and working. So it's not easily manageable to move the directory structure in one patch and apply all the changes into the poms in another commit.
We could for sure squash the later few commits, but I didn't liked to rebase and push since there have been a few forks of the mavenize branch and I hoped I could pull back a few commits from others and later do a rebase -i.

Any help is always welcome :)
