EGit/New and Noteworthy/0.10
Contents
Pull Support
EGit now supports Pull for branches which are configured to track remote branches. When local branches are created based on a remote tracking branch EGit will automatically establish a tracking relationship.
Rebase Support
EGit now supports Rebase with options to abort, skip, and continue when rebase finds conflicts .
When conflicts are detected during rebase the following dialog presents the options how to proceed
Cherry-pick Support
EGit now supports Cherry-pick
Merge Tool
EGit now supports a visual merge tool to better support resolving conflicts detected during merge, rebase or cherry-pick
HTTP Authentication
EGit now supports HTTP basic and digest authentication. This helps users sitting behind firewalls
which often block git: and ssh: traffic.
User credentials can be optionally stored in the Eclipse Secure Store.
Repositories View Improvements
Drag and Drop Support
The repositories view now supports drag and drop. You can drag a folder or a list of folders from the file system into the Repositories View. If the folders are a valid Git repository or a direct parent of a .git folder, they will be added as a repository to the view.
Support for References
The Repositories View now displays References like HEAD, FETCH_HEAD and provides corresponding checkout and create branch menu actions.
