| Adding git management to CVS project? [message #668230] |

I'm working in an environment where CVS is the mandated VCS and I'm not allowed to branch. I'm a very new convert to git and am loving using command line git to manage branches & such locally. I'd like to stick to using the CVS integration in eclipse to communicate with the central server, but I think it would be nice to use the GUI tools in egit as well. Has anyone successfully had both CVS and git plugins working on the same project?
Thanks in advance!
Brian

Thanks for the reply Robin. It gave me a few ideas, and I have some other thoughts I'd like to bounce around.
For starters, I'm on windows. And to my knowledge the cvs import/export doesn't work on windows, yet. I can mount a linux network share and do all of the eclipse look over the network, but that isn't always the best option.
Please forgive my newness, but the process you're talking about is something similar to the process described at http://issaris.blogspot.com/2005/11/cvs-to-git-and-back.html, right? That seems like a lot of management, which I'm trying to avoid.
I do like the idea of a separate project for my CVS view. If that project is a remote of where I actually do work, I can manage the CVS stuff from there and have the egit view as well. Of course, I still think it would be easier to get both plugins working on the same project.
These things can co-exist happily on the command line. Is there a limitation somewhere that prevents them from being overlapped in eclipse? Am I the only person that wants to work this way?
Thanks again.

How do you do that? For me Eclipse thinks I can only have
one instance of a project.
I'd also like to be able to rename the project.

Two problem: The actual rename does not work. See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=334112
The second problem is that the commit dialog is too
stupid to handle the fix to the first problem. People
are working on it.
