I'm the head software guy for Team 1967 Janksters. We used git quite successfully last year. We have a few items of heartburn, but I'll cover that in a separate message. I thought I'd add that our .gitignore and .gitattributes files are available on our open source page:
https://github.com/bobwolff68/FRCTeam1967
Our gitignore was one of the tricky items to figure out such that we could clone on a clean computer and build a replica from another computer.
While there are many lines below, the salient ones are:
/code/.metadata
and
/code/<projectname>/PPC603gnu
/code/JankyJoystickInvestigator/PPC603gnu
/code/JankyXboxJoystickTestjig/PPC603gnu
/code/CameraExperiments/PPC603gnu
/code/.metadata/.plugins

I have not been able to resolve the problems yet (due to lack of time rather than trying).
My number one goal in the next week or so is to determine proper procedures for managing git projects with Eclipse. I am also recommending to the students to use SmartGit HG. I use the command line for git on a regular basis, but the git command line is a little much for students to fathom.
My intention is to first work out the procedures for our team. I will publish the procedures here as well. The procedures will reflect my long experience with version control systems in general and git in particular.
If any one else makes progress, I will appreciate the information.
