Bazel: Add EE8 servlet bridge targets Add Bazel-only generated EE8 targets for the HTTP servlet and LFS server modules. The generated jars keep the original JGit Java packages and rewrite only servlet API references from jakarta.servlet to javax.servlet. The rewrite uses the shared servlet-flavour transform toolchain from bazlets (transform_srcjar + generated_srcs_test.sh under //tools). It is a plain sed package-prefix substitution; the universal servlet and Jetty package mapping lives in bazlets and this consumer selects only the direction (to_javax), so it carries no renames data and adds no Maven dependency (no Eclipse Transformer CLI). This supports source consumers that still run on EE8 while JGit master uses Jakarta servlet APIs. Gerrit is the known downstream consumer in that state today and consumes JGit from source through a git submodule. With these targets, Gerrit can track JGit master without a dedicated servlet-4 maintenance branch. The goal is to let the servlet-4 branch be retired for Gerrit's maintenance purposes. That branch was not offered as a stable JGit release line. Keeping Gerrit on it makes JGit updates hard for Gerrit, including updates for important fixes and improvements, and forces repeated merge work from master onto a parallel branch. Keep the maintenance surface small. The EE8 targets consume canonical srcs filegroups backed by glob(["src/**/*.java"]), so new Java sources flow into the generated jars without per-file BUILD updates. Resources are also shared through canonical filegroups. This Bazel change intentionally does not add Maven, Tycho/p2, or Maven Central publication machinery. Maven support is added by the follow-up Maven commit; Tycho/p2 remains out of scope because the EE8 jars export the same packages as their canonical Jakarta counterparts and are not co-installable with them. Also avoid relocating Java packages to org.eclipse.jgit.*.ee8. Keeping the same package names avoids source-consumer import churn, but means the canonical Jakarta jars and generated EE8 jars must not share a classpath. Possible follow-ups are duplicate-classpath enforcement for source consumers and additional generated EE8 modules only when a consumer needs them. Verify generated source layout, line counts, javax servlet rewriting, and the absence of package-renamed .ee8 sources. Change-Id: I897e4facbbae79349e8d1853ea4dab8d7087ba5b
An implementation of the Git version control system in pure Java.

JGit can be imported straight into Eclipse and built and tested from there. It can be built from the command line using Maven or Bazel. The CI builds use Maven and run on Jenkins.
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.lfs
Support for LFS (Large File Storage).
org.eclipse.jgit.lfs.server
Basic LFS server support.
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.pgm
Command-line interface Git commands implemented using JGit (“pgm” stands for program).
org.eclipse.jgit.ssh.apache
Client support for the SSH protocol based on Apache Mina sshd.
org.eclipse.jgit.ssh.apache.agent
Optional support for SSH agents for org.eclipse.jgit.ssh.apache.
org.eclipse.jgit.ui
Simple UI for displaying git log.
Native symbolic links are supported, provided the file system supports them. For Windows you must 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 6.0 and newer requires at least Java 11. Older versions require at least Java 1.8.
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.

Read objects from shared repositories
Write loose commits, trees, blobs.
Write blobs from local files or Java InputStreams.
Read blobs as Java InputStreams.
Copy trees to local directory, or local directory to a tree.
Lazily loads objects as necessary.
Read and write .git/config files.

Object transport
Fetch via ssh, git, http, Amazon S3 and bundles. Push via ssh, git, http, and Amazon S3. JGit does not yet deltify the pushed packs so they may be a lot larger than C Git packs.
