From the [EGit User Guide][1]:

&gt; select a Resource (project, folder, or file) in the project explorer
&gt; or navigator and right-click an action under Compare With.

I just tested this with EGit 1.3.0. You can compare with a commit, HEAD, previous revision, &quot;branch, tag, or reference&quot;, Git index, or any item in History.

I want to use a tool ([ffmpeg][1]) that is under [GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1][2] [GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2][3] for some components.

To do so, I only call it in my software as such:

    System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
    p.StartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(&quot;lgplSoftware.exe&quot;, myParams);
    p.Start();

I do not change it, I only use a built version of the software for windows.

[Wikipedia][4] says:


&gt; A key dispute related to the GPL is
&gt; whether or not non-GPL software can be
&gt; dynamically linked to GPL libraries.
&gt; The GPL is clear in requiring that all
&gt; derivative works of code under the GPL
&gt; must themselves be under the GPL.
&gt; While it is understood that static
&gt; linking produces derivative works, it
&gt; is not clear whether an executable
&gt; that dynamically links to a GPL code
&gt; should be considered a derivative work
&gt; (see Weak Copyleft). The
&gt; free/open-source software community is
&gt; split on this issue. The FSF asserts
&gt; that such an executable is indeed a
&gt; derivative work if the executable and
&gt; GPL code &quot;make function calls to each
&gt; other and share data structures,&quot;
&gt; with certain others agreeing (e.g.
&gt; Jerry Epplin), while some (e.g.
&gt; Linus Torvalds) agree that dynamic
&gt; linking can create derived works but
&gt; disagree over the circumstances.

I am really confused by all this legal things. I would have made my project LGPL as well and released the source, but this is not up to me. 

So the question is: can I use it like I&#39;m doing right now or will I be executed by an army of lawyers?

I am using the [eclipse plugin for Git](http://www.eclipse.org/egit/) on Mac OS 10.6, and I cannot figure out how to compare two version of a file.  I can pull up the file&#39;s history, and see all of the commits, with their messages, but I can&#39;t figure out how to see what changed in each commit.

This was very easy with subversion, and I&#39;m sure its easy with Git, if you know where to look (but apparently, I don&#39;t).

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

To elaborate on my question, is there a way to access `git-diff` in the eclipse plugin?

I have an Eclipse project (Flex Builder) of which the actual files have changed location on the drive. When I start Eclipse I can see the project listed but there are no actual files listed. Right clicking the project and selecting properties will show me the old path where the files used to be stored but I can&#39;t change it.

How can I change the file location of an Eclipse project where it will look for the files after the project has been created?

The memory usage of Eclipse 3.4 is through the roof to the point where it&#39;s becoming an issue.  

I have a simple BlackBerry project loaded and the usage skyrockets to nearly 400 MB, sometimes higher.  Is there something that can be done to bring it down?

Like the title says, I&#39;m looking for some simple way to run JUnit 4.x tests several times in a row automatically using Eclipse.

An example would be running the same test 10 times in a row and reporting back the result.

We already have a complex way of doing this but I&#39;m looking for a simple way of doing it so that I can be sorta sure that the flaky test I&#39;ve been trying to fix stays fixed.

An ideal solution would be an Eclipse plugin/setting/feature that I am unaware of.

Easy way of running the same junit test over and over?

Is there a way in Eclipse to select a Java class, and then bring up a list of all Java files where that class is used within a project?





Eclipse: Java, see where class is used

Sometimes, I&#39;ll run a program that accidentally contains an infinite loop or something. Eclipse will let me continue editing the program, but be super slow. How can I stop it? (Do I want to restart the JVM?) Restarting eclipse itself always works, but that breaks my workflow.

I started work on what I thought would be a minor bug fix on my master branch. However, it has spiraled out of control to the point where I wish I had created a separate branch to do the development in the first place.

So right now what I&#39;d like to do is:

 1. Create a new branch called (say) &quot;edge&quot;
 1. Move all the changed / untracked files on master to edge (such that master is unchanged from when I started the bug fix)
 1. Finish my work on edge, merge back into master

How can I do this?

Take all my changes on the current branch and move them to a new branch in Git

I&#39;m just learning Git and there is something I can&#39;t work out. After creating and using a git repository locally on my Mac, can I push a copy to another server somewhere else? I am behind a firewall so unfortunately I can&#39;t run `git clone` from the other machine.

If I delete some files from the disk they come up as deleted like so in the Git repo:

    C:\git\bc&gt;git status
    # On branch tracking2
    # Changed but not updated:
    #   (use &quot;git add/rm &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to update what will be committed)
    #   (use &quot;git checkout -- &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to discard changes in working directory)
    #
    #       deleted:    test.txt
    #

Is there a way to do a single command &quot;just delete these files from the repository&quot;?  
Similar to `git add .` which would add all new and modified files to the stage.

I use Visual Studio and Windows explorer to work with my source tree and at some point I just delete a whole bunch of files. I then find it a pain to call `git rm` as the files are no longer around and there is no command line intellisense to help me type it in. 

I just want a command that deletes all files from git that are also deleted from the disk.

How do I commit all deleted files in Git?

What&#39;s the simplest way to get the most recent tag in Git?

    git tag a HEAD
    git tag b HEAD^^
    git tag c HEAD^
    git tag

output:

    a
    b
    c

Should I write a script to get each tag&#39;s datetime and compare them?

How can I get the latest tag name in current branch in Git?

Take this scenario:

1. I decide to &#39;fork&#39; a codebase on github.com, and start doing my routine: Edit - Commit - Push; aka hack hack hack.
2. After I made some changes, I see some changes another person has made on the same project, and I like them!
3. I decide I want to merge them into mine. Problem is, I only want a &#39;portion&#39; of one particular commit, out of several commits he has made.

What would be the most efficient method of getting these select amount of changes, merged into my &#39;fork&#39;?
