Known Issues
Fail to clone submodules using msysgit
Per Bug 376400 we discovered that msysgit has a max character limit somewhere around 256 which causes cloning files with a path longer than that to fail.
See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=376400#c4
Workaround: Put your repo in the root of a drive and give it a short name. For example: C:\z
Error assembling JAR: Could not find a common basedir (Resolved)
In git version 1.7.8 and newer, git changed it's behaviour with respect to submodules https://raw.github.com/gitster/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.8.txt
The new behaviour causes Tycho Eclipse-SourceReference provider for git to be unable to calculate the basedir correctly. There is a open Tycho bug that includes a patch for getting this resolved https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=393752
Workaround: Use a git version 1.7.7 or earlier.
Cannot git clone via ssh:// protocol (Resolved)
The issue with this is that most user accounts on the Forge will not have shell access to the forge and the ssh:// protocol requires shell to operate. The solution we decided to go with was we provisioned a https:// protocal instead which we will recommend users to use instead.
