		<title>The Eclipse.org JGit follies continue&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another day.  Another compliant from me about running a project at Eclipse.org.  This time it wound up in the jgit-dev mailing list archives, as replies to a thread that I think started from my blog post on the tragedy of Eclipse.
Instead of reposting the whole thing, I&#8217;ll just point to my two messages [...]]]></description>

		<title>The tragedy of Eclipse.org</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve probably posted something about this before.  But I&#8217;m really getting fed up with the Eclipse Development Process.  Its a frelling nightmare for a committer to work with.  I&#8217;m really starting to regret moving JGit there.
Right now, if I have X hours to work on a project, I seem to be averaging [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why commit messages matter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some folks wonder why I want longer, detailed commit messages in a project.  Often other people claim &#8220;Fix the frobinator bug when it frobs too slow&#8221; might be sufficiently detailed to cover a change.  But its usually not.

As you explored the issue and tried to understand the problem, you filled your head up [...]]]></description>

		<title>How class names can go horribly wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Somehow I found myself writing this in a JGit test case:


assertTrue("isa TransportHttp", t instanceof TransportHttp);
assertTrue("isa HttpTransport", t instanceof HttpTransport);


What is wrong with me&#8230;

		<title>Eclipse is the new RPM hell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember back when RedHat was the best Linux distribution?  If not, let me remind you of RPM hell.  A situation where you can&#8217;t install Foo 1.X, because it needs Bar 2.3.Y, but you also have Zidget 8.Z installed and that needs Bar 2.2.Y.  Long story short, you can have either Foo or [...]]]></description>

		<title>My ancient history and the art of software</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week I&#8217;m traveling.  I&#8217;m in Miami for the 2 day Eclipse board of directors meeting.  When I&#8217;m forced to fly, which I usually try to avoid doing, I tend to take a stack of books with me to try and pass the time on the airplane.  Unfortunately, airline flight speeds haven&#8217;t quite caught up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introduction to Gerrit Code Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday R. Tyler Ballance (aka rtyler on #git) started poking me about Gerrit Code Review.  One day later, he&#8217;s writing an amazing blog post describing how to install the latest development version, and why it so awesome to use for team development.  He even has screenshots!  :-)
Thanks rtyler.

		<title>EGit in 2010?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mike just described some changes coming to Eclipse in 2010, including Git for projects.  Yay!
However, he&#8217;s right.  EGit has to get better, fast.  We need more contributors who know and love the SWT/JFace/Resource APIs and can crank out the UI improvements necessary to bring the Git team provider up to the same level as the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving my git repositories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally got around to creating git.spearce.org.  I&#8217;ve been contributing to Git since Feb 17 2006 and yet I couldn&#8217;t be bothered to setup my own Git host for my repositories.  For the past 3 years I&#8217;ve primarily leaned on Pasky&#8217;s excellent repo.or.cz service.  But I&#8217;ve always wanted a more permanent home for my projects.
Last week I [...]]]></description>

		<title>EGit at Eclipse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago we moved EGit, the Git team provider for Eclipse, over to the Eclipse Foundation.  Along the way we decided to try out some new development techniques, like taking advantage of my day-job project Gerrit Code Review to help us discuss pending changes.  This lead us down the road of not paying [...]]]></description>
