Re: [cdt-dev] git/gerrit

Honestly I did not try egit I am basing it on discussion here.
But as long as it support the following scenarios I am good:

Check in
Check out
Update
Synchronize and view diff
Apply patch
Create multiproject eclipse patch
Switch to another branch/tag/revision
Merge from branch/tag/revision in place
History
Annotate
Compare
Revert to base
