Description ekkehard gentz

2010-02-20 04:46:57 EST

it's a usual case to do the following:

* create a new repository (anywhere local)
* select one or more eclipse projects and add them to this repository

at the moment this can be done only using commandline

another scenario:

there are 3 repositories:
R: a remote repository
L: a local repository
W: cloned repository in workspace

now I want to do:
add/check to W (works well)
push from W into L or push W into R (works well)
pull from L into W or from R into W (I didn't find the pull cmd, only fetch - open another bugzilla)
and now what I need, but works only from commandline:
push from L to R or pull from R into L

think to provide this behavior there should be a git repository management perspective

The reason why pull isn't yet available:
- pull is fetch + merge or fetch + rebase
- we are currently working on integration of merge into the UI 
  (Stefan and Christian)
- rebase is not yet implemented

There is nothing OS- or platform-specific.

Pull is implemented in EGit, I think this bug can be closed.
