Re: [wtp-incubator-dev] Migrate incubator projects to Git?

[Holger Voormann <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm fine with Tycho and Git for Vex. The only problem I see is that the 
feature "Import Projects from CVS" (see 
http://relengofthenerds.blogspot.com/2010/04/wheres-source.html) which I 
like to use will probably not work with Git.
