Re: [jgit-dev] [egit-dev] Bug 520927: moving away from JSch

[Gunnar Wagenknecht <gunnar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thomas,

What is the plan for making it the new default? Will JSch be dropped altogether? Would it make sense to implement some kind of a/b testing, i.e. randomly flip the default for EGit users so that some users get it by default? Or should it become the default in EGit but not JGit?
