So I removed all the Eclipse crap from the repository (.settings, .project, etc), add those to the .gitignore, commit and push. The next thing happened is my co-worker found that broken his copy of the code as on Eclipse. That's expected. I told him it's justified to get rid of IDE specific stuff from the repo. All he needed is to set up the project again on his Eclipse.

And he didn't know how to do it.

I helped him out. Wasted 15 min. It shouldn't take that long if I did not try to explain along the way.

I feel like fixing printer.

    Good on you for helping him and explaining along the way, but I really hope you didn't have that holier than thou attitude while doing it.

    @LiquorFueled I am open to criticism about my attitude. But whom I was helping out is not some junior. He has who know how many years of experience more than me (at least on his resume) in Java, and Eclipse is his preferred IDE... If I shouldn't be disappointed, I don't know what to expect now...

    I hope you lectured him about pushing personal files in a CVS.

    IDE specific stuff is pretty harmless, but people who don't care about what they push in a CVS will also happily push your private keys in there too.

    I saw too often this "git add ." syndrome...

    That may be the case, but 15 minutes isn't a loss if he learns. If this is an on going issue, then sure. First one is free, second one will cost you. @lwhken

    @LiquorFueled Yeah honestly 15 min is alright. It's just me not being a patient guy. Also the same guy would ask questions from time to time that my first reaction would be "why don't you google it?"
