Corner cases
Same branch VS individual branches
It's OK if all referenced projects share the same branch. Does it make sense to support individual branches (per project) like this:
- Project 'org.eclipse.jgit' from the 'master' in 'git://egit.eclipse.org/egit/parallelip-jgit.git' repository
- Project 'org.eclipse.jgit.pgm' from the 'cq-diff' in 'git://egit.eclipse.org/egit/parallelip-jgit.git' repository
Creating two (identical?) local repositories will be required to support individual branches.
Export a project set file
- Local working copy of the project shared with CVS, SVN (as any other centralized VCS?) has a reference to a single remote repository. But it's not the case for a Git (and for any other distributed VCS?). A several remotes may be configured for a local Git repository and user should provide which one should be referenced from a PSF.
