![]() On a local non-NFS filesystem the .git/config file will be orphaned if it is replaced by a new process while the current process is reading the old file. The current process successfully continues to read the orphaned file until it closes the file handle. Since NFS servers do not keep track of open files, instead of orphaning the old .git/config file, such a replacement on an NFS filesystem will instead cause the old file to be garbage collected (deleted). A stale file handle exception will be raised on NFS clients if the file is garbage collected (deleted) on the server while it is being read. Since we no longer have access to the old file in these cases, the previous code would just fail. However, in these cases, reopening the file and rereading it will succeed (since it will open the new replacement file). Since retrying the read is a viable strategy to deal with stale file handles on the .git/config file, implement such a strategy. Since it is possible that the .git/config file could be replaced again while rereading it, loop on stale file handle exceptions, up to 5 extra times, trying to read the .git/config file again, until we either read the new file, or find that the file no longer exists. The limit of 5 is arbitrary, and provides a safe upper bounds to prevent infinite loops consuming resources in a potential unforeseen persistent error condition.

Java Git
An implementation of the Git version control system in pure Java.
This package is licensed under the EDL (Eclipse Distribution License).
JGit can be imported straight into Eclipse, built and tested from there, but the automated builds use Maven.
-
org.eclipse.jgit
A pure Java library capable of being run standalone, with no additional support libraries. It provides classes to read and write a Git repository and operate on a working directory.
All portions of JGit are covered by the EDL. Absolutely no GPL, LGPL or EPL contributions are accepted within this package.
-
org.eclipse.jgit.ant
Ant tasks based on JGit.
-
org.eclipse.jgit.archive
Support for exporting to various archive formats (zip etc).
-
org.eclipse.jgit.http.apache
Apache httpclient support
-
org.eclipse.jgit.http.server
Server for the smart and dumb Git HTTP protocol.
-
org.eclipse.jgit.pgm
Command-line interface Git commands implemented using JGit ("pgm" stands for program).
-
org.eclipse.jgit.packaging
Production of Eclipse features and p2 repository for JGit. See the JGit Wiki on why and how to use this module.

Warnings/Caveats
-
Native smbolic links are supported, provided the file system supports them. For Windows you must have Windows Vista/Windows 2008 or newer, use a non-administrator account and have the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege.
-
Only the timestamp of the index is used by jgit if the index is dirty.
-
JGit requires at least a Java 7 JDK.
-
CRLF conversion is performed depending on the core.autocrlf setting, however Git for Windows by default stores that setting during installation in the "system wide" configuration file. If Git is not installed, use the global or repository configuration for the core.autocrlf setting.
-
The system wide configuration file is located relative to where C Git is installed. Make sure Git can be found via the PATH environment variable. When installing Git for Windows check the "Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt" option. There are other options like Eclipse settings that can be used for pointing out where C Git is installed. Modifying PATH is the recommended option if C Git is installed.
-
We try to use the same notation of $HOME as C Git does. On Windows this is often not the same value as the user.home system property.
Package Features
-
org.eclipse.jgit/
-
Read loose and packed commits, trees, blobs, including deltafied objects.
-
Read objects from shared repositories
-
Write loose commits, trees, blobs.
-
Write blobs from local files or Java InputStreams.
-
Read blobs as Java InputStreams.
-
Copy trees to local directory, or local directory to a tree.
-
Lazily loads objects as necessary.
-
Read and write .git/config files.
-
Create a new repository.
-
Read and write refs, including walking through symrefs.
-
Read, update and write the Git index.
-
Checkout in dirty working directory if trivial.
-
Walk the history from a given set of commits looking for commits introducing changes in files under a specified path.
-
Object transport Fetch via ssh, git, http, Amazon S3 and bundles. Push via ssh, git and Amazon S3. JGit does not yet deltify the pushed packs so they may be a lot larger than C Git packs.
-
Garbage collection
-
Merge
-
Rebase
