Re: [egit-dev] upload to gerrit over HTTP

Yes, that is generally an issue for me too; one of the key benefits of
git/svn over CVS is to enable an HTTP wrapped connection. Quite a lot
of corporations don't have direct IP connectivity (eg on a private
10.x subnet) and so must go through proxies to get to the outside world.
We could pioneer the smart push
over HTTP protocol in JGit and at least deploy a prototype of it
on egit.eclipse.org if being able to push over HTTP would make the
site more accessible to contributors.
+1 I would appreciate this.
There is a bug in bugzilla that I filed about this, and asked for it
to be assigned to me - I'm working on a way of doing smarter HTTP
cloning of a Git repository. It should be possible, when that's done,
to have it be used for Gerrit as well.
I currently have a servlet that's capable of generating the refs/
(thereby avoiding the need to run update-server-info) and am starting
to work on the smart HTTP stuff. Once we've got some code on the
server side we can demo a JGit push that goes over HTTP, and in the
first instance, make Eclipse checkouts for HTTP faster. It would also
be great to understand how we could use an Eclipse Submit to -> Gerrit
from within Eclipse :-)
