Compatibility with Node 14

[AxelRICHARD]

Hello, I am trying to build Theia with the current LTS version of Node.js - 14.15.4, but the problem seems that dugite-extra is not compatible with Node 13+.

Do you plan to be compatible with Node 14?

Best regards,

even more problematic electron-builder requires node 14+

see evolvedbinary/fusion-studio#91

@msujew @thegecko do you know if there are any plans to maintain and uplift dugite-extra? As far as I understand it is only used for applications which consume @theia/git (which I believe is true for both your cases), and it might be good to uplift as to support newer versions of theia.

No plans from us at the moment, but may be sensible to look into.

@vince-fugnitto Yes, we should definitely uplift the dependency (for the time being). I've seen ideas of deprecating @theia/git in favor of the appropriate vscode extensions in the future. What's the plan on that?

@msujew that is what we are currently doing, it allows us to use git-related extensions such as gitlens. As for removing it as part of the framework (or deprecating it) there is the following issue eclipse-theia/theia#7482. I believe Arm was planning on moving functionality they required out of it: eclipse-theia/theia#7152.

I've updated dugite-extra to 0.1.15 removing the node constraint. I'll close this.
