Status of JGit...does it work as good or better than the command line yet?

[Dave]

Last time I used JGit, it didn't seem to work very well and basically the conclusion was to use the command line.

Is the latest version of JGit that works with Jenkins to a point where it works as well or better than the command line when using with Jenkins?

I get some odd behavior (shallow clone is not shallow, issues with authentication keys, etc.) with the command line so I kinda wonder if I should move back to JGit.

The command line implementation is the reference standard for git plugin functionality.  JGit is sufficient for many use cases, but is not sufficient for all use cases.

The unit tests provide a summary of many of the areas where the JGit implementation is not yet complete.   Look for  @NotImplementedInJGit in the unit tests of the git plugin and the git client plugin.

If you'd like to add that sort of summary to the git plugin and / or git client plugin wiki page, I'm sure that would be appreciated.

Thanks,
