Add support to follow HTTP redirects git-core follows HTTP redirects so JGit should also provide this. Implement config setting http.followRedirects with possible values "false" (= never), "true" (= always), and "initial" (only on GET, but not on POST).[1] We must do our own redirect handling and cannot rely on the support that the underlying real connection may offer. At least the JDK's HttpURLConnection has two features that get in the way: * it does not allow cross-protocol redirects and thus fails on http->https redirects (for instance, on Github). * it translates a redirect after a POST to a GET unless the system property "http.strictPostRedirect" is set to true. We don't want to manipulate that system setting nor require it. Additionally, git has its own rules about what redirects it accepts;[2] for instance, it does not allow a redirect that adds query arguments. We handle response codes 301, 302, 303, and 307 as per RFC 2616.[3] On POST we do not handle 303, and we follow redirects only if http.followRedirects == true. Redirects are followed only a certain number of times. There are two ways to control that limit: * by default, the limit is given by the http.maxRedirects system property that is also used by the JDK. If the system property is not set, the default is 5. (This is much lower than the JDK default of 20, but I don't see the value of following so many redirects.) * this can be overwritten by a http.maxRedirects git config setting. The JGit http.* git config settings are currently all global; JGit has no support yet for URI-specific settings "http.<pattern>.name". Adding support for that is well beyond the scope of this change. Like git-core, we log every redirect attempt (LOG.info) so that users may know about the redirection having occurred. Extends the test framework to configure an AppServer with HTTPS support so that we can test cloning via HTTPS and redirections involving HTTPS.

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.
org.eclipse.jgit.junit
Helpers for unit testing
org.eclipse.jgit.test
Unit tests for org.eclipse.jgit

No further description needed
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 8 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.
