It is somewhat usable though, especially the quickdiff. I worked the whole day with help from quickdiff today. The diff is computed against HEAD^ (i.e. I get to see the changes that my topmost StGit patch introduces). The project contains 20000+ files and six years of history. Reading the whole history is out of the question with the current performance so I restrict reading to 500 entries which is just about bearable. That's enough for practical use with quickdiff and compare though. Improving jgit's speed 50 times will probably be enough to make jgit shine. Activating the Git connection seems to be a problem with the egit projects, i.e. it works sometimes, but not with my much bigger repo. The only problem is that the first time is dog slow. The structure is different though, as my repo has .project at the top, not one level down. -- 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
