Application wizard: Use EGit recursive merge instead of copying git repository ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBIDE-14890 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14890 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Enhancement Components: openshift Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Beta2, 4.1.1.Final Reporter: Andre Dietisheim Labels: application_wizard Fix For: 4.3.x Attachments: user-existing-project.png OpenShift tooling is working around missing recursive merge when importing into an existing Project ("use existing") !user-existing-project.png! When using the git command line one is told to merge by using the recursive merge startegy: {code} git merge -s recursive -X ours foo {code} When we created the JBoss Tools for OpenShift there was no recursive merge in EGit/JGit. We therefore worked around it by cloning the OpenShift repository and copying stuff over. EGit 3.0 introduced the recursive merge strategy and put it to the default that's being used: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=380314#c22
