------------------------------------------------
Summary: Support "native" Git
Key: NETBEANS-2122
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2122
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: versioncontrol - Git
Affects Versions: 10.0
Reporter: Anthony Vanelverdinghe
Native git should be supported because:
* JGit inevitably lags behind native git, e.g. support for "gitattributes" [1]
took over 7(!) years, and there's still no support for "git worktree" [2] and
"includeIf" [3]
* JGit's lack of support for certain features leads to unreliable/surprising
behavior and possible data loss, e.g. [4]
* NetBeans lags behind JGit (and quite a lot by now, see issue 519), because it
needs to upgrade the bundled JGit
Due to the unreliable behavior, this is a Bug to me, not a New Feature.
