Oy.  I thought I was correcting it, but I forgot code that I
wrote myself.  Not good.  Very bad mistake.

It is my intent to relicense any code I have written in jgit as
3-clause BSD and any code I have written in egit as EPL.  The EPL
relicense I didn't start the discussion thread for yet, but its
where I am trying to go.

EPL for egit code please.  It trivially makes us compatible with the
Eclipse foundation's own code and simplifies our project proposal
with them.

Any of this that I wrote, EPL please.

Any of this that I wrote, EPL please.  I'm fairly certain Roger
wrote some of this code as well, and its derived from your original
plotting code.  We should make sure it is acceptable to him as well.

Thanks for noticing Robin.
