  +The git client plugin also includes two optional implementations ("jgit" and <<jgit-with-apache-http-client,"jgitapache">>) that use https://www.eclipse.org/jgit/[Eclipse JGit], a pure Java implementation of git.
   The JGit implementation in the git client plugin provides most of the functionality of the command line git implementation.
   When the JGit implementation is incomplete, the gap is noted in console logs.
