Version 0.3 is a NetBeans 6.7 plugin. Unfortunately,
the way the move to the 6.7 API didn't take backwards
compatibility into account. I haven't investigated what
it would take to rectify that. Furthermore, at this
point supporting both 6.5 and 6.7 would take away time
which I'd rather see spent on adding new features.

Of course, if somebody would volunteer to put some time
into this, it would be nice to also support 6.5 ...

Thought so.

To get around it I modified the Info/info.xml changed the 
org.netbeans.swing.outline > 1.4.1 with org.netbeans.swing.outline > 1.0.0

Also

I modified the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file on section 
OpenIDE-Module-Module-Dependencies
changed the line org.netbeans.swing.outline > 1.4.1 
with org.netbeans.swing.outline > 1.0.0 not sure if this was needed but I did 
it 
just in case.  Change made on "netbeans\modules\org-nbgit.jar" file.

All changes made on nbgit-0.3.nbm file.

The plugin loads on NetBeans IDE 6.5.1 with no errors, I'm able to initialize a 
current project, but it doesn't quite track changes.  If I open a modified file 
it 
looks like it knows it was changed I can see the color icons, but if I try to 
commit 
the windows does not shows any file changes.  If I close/open NetBeans then it 
recognized the changes when commiting.  So my conclusion is even with this hack 
it 
doesn't seems to completely work.  I guess some changes need to be added to the 
code 
to make it work with 6.5.1.  Was not able to do a clone using the plugin 
because of 
the proxy issue.  See issue 61.  I attached the NBM file so maybe someone can 
test 
the clone.

I guess I didn't look good enough on the current issues.  I found issue 55 very 
interesting it might be a bug causing the plugin not able to track changes 
correctly.  Maybe the hack I mention on comment 2 will work after all..

The changes introduce in the move to 6.7 was mainly in the module
dependency specifications. There were also some changes involving
the use of NetBeans APIs; I remember the utility class to load icon
images was changed, and there is also a change in the use of the
FileSystem API. All calls to method which were marked deprecated
in the API of version 6.7.

Yes, please. If you could checkout nbgit and try to figure out
what changes are required to the NetBeans project files.
