Just Googled for the Oomph Git setup tasks which resulted in this fine link:

https://help.eclipse.org/neon/topic/org.eclipse.oomph.setup.doc/javadoc/org/eclipse/oomph/setup/git/GitCloneTask.html

Clicking on it, brings me to:

https://www.eclipse.org/documentation/

So currently it looks like we lost our good Google coverage of Eclipse help.

Best regards, Lars

P.S. will also add this to the bug
