== Java GIT ==
This package is licensed under the BSD.
org.eclipse.jgit/
A pure Java library capable of being run standalone, with no
additional support libraries. Some JUnit tests are provided
to exercise the library. The library provides functions to
read and write a GIT formatted repository.
All portions of jgit are covered by the BSD. Absolutely no GPL,
LGPL or EPL contributions are accepted within this package.
org.eclipse.jgit.test/
Unit tests for org.eclipse.jgit and the same licensing rules.
== WARNINGS / CAVEATS ==
- Symbolic links are not supported because java does not support it.
Such links could be damaged.
- Only the timestamp of the index is used by jgit check if the index
is dirty.
- Don't try the library with a JDK other than 1.6 (Java 6) unless you
are prepared to investigate problems yourself. JDK 1.5.0_11 and later
Java 5 versions *may* work. Earlier versions do not. JDK 1.4 is *not*
supported. Apple's Java 1.5.0_07 is reported to work acceptably. We
have no information about other vendors. Please report your findings
if you try.
- CRLF conversion is never performed. On Windows you should thereforc
make sure your projects and workspaces are configured to save files
with Unix (LF) line endings.
== Package Features ==
org.eclipse.jgit/
* Read loose and packed commits, trees, blobs, including
deltafied objects.
* Read objects from shared repositories
* Write loose commits, trees, blobs.
* Write blobs from local files or Java InputStreams.
* Read blobs as Java InputStreams.
* Copy trees to local directory, or local directory to a tree.
* Lazily loads objects as necessary.
* Read and write .git/config files.
* Create a new repository.
* Read and write refs, including walking through symrefs.
* Read, update and write the Git index.
* Checkout in dirty working directory if trivial.
* Walk the history from a given set of commits looking for commits
introducing changes in files under a specified path.
* Object transport
Fetch via ssh, git, http, Amazon S3 and bundles.
Push via ssh, git and Amazon S3. JGit does not yet deltify
the pushed packs so they may be a lot larger than C Git packs.
org.eclipse.jgit.pgm/
* Assorted set of command line utilities. Mostly for ad-hoc testing of jgit
log, glog, fetch etc.
== Missing Features ==
There are a lot of missing features. You need the real Git for this.
For some operations it may just be the preferred solution also. There
are not just a command line, there is e.g. git-gui that makes committing
partial files simple.
- Merging.
- Repacking.
- Generate a GIT format patch.
- Apply a GIT format patch.
- Documentation. :-)
- gitattributes support
In particular CRLF conversion is not implemented. Files are treated
as byte sequences.
- submodule support
Submodules are not supported or even recognized.
== Support ==
Post question, comments or patches to the git@vger.kernel.org mailing list.
== Contributing ==
See SUBMITTING_PATCHES in this directory. However, feedback and bug reports
are also contributions.
== About GIT ==

C based implementation can be obtained from the GIT websites:
