If you mean egit, it doesn't look dead to me with the last commit two
weeks ago and the last release two months ago:

I'm not sure about the mainstream use, but projects in useless state
don't normally make releases.

Yes, that may work too. The git-cvsserver even mentions the Eclipse
plugin. But perhaps we shouldn't enable git-cvsserver support in the
main repository. It would be useful on local branches that get reviewed
before merging.
