JGit is the only option since we have platforms that does not have 1.7+ but JGit is not able to fetch updates correctly.
Managed to fix that with git reset --hard (that works with older versions of git) but then its the problem that not all platforms have git installed…
AND I can't get it installed on all since I would need to reinstall some of the platforms just to get stuff installed since they have been neglected for some time.

I even checked GitHub's SVN implementation but they are basing it on a old SVN version so (of course) some of the commands that Jenkins need does not work and it bangs.

So we are in a bit of dilemma…

Options:
1) Only build on the hosts we have git on
2) Reinstall all platforms now with the new agreed OS support (<- my vote, clean up mess now not later)
3) ..?

Platforms missing git:
ubuntu12-amd64-ods03
freebsd64-ods06
netbsd64-ods09
openbsd64-ods10
suse64-ods11
ubuntu32-ods12
opensuse32-ods14
freebsd32-ods15
