Anthony Vanelverdinghe updated NETBEANS-2122:
---------------------------------------------
Description:
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 NETBEANS-519), because
it needs to upgrade the bundled JGit
Due to the unreliable behavior, this is a Bug to me, not a New Feature.
