EGit Features

Rename Detection

Rename detection was added to the file diff viewer in the History view and Commit editor (bug 335082):

The Git Quick Diff provider also detects renames now (bug 335081).

Reset to Expression

Allow reset to user-entered commit expression in reset dialog (bug 352142):

Other

• Show fast forward modes in merge dialog (bug 397835).
• Consider the ancestor when comparing with remote revisions (bug 400943).
• Allow users to show server messages while pushing (bug 398387).
• Share project: Allow "Create Repository" even when a parent directory already contains a repository (bug 407190).
• Commit dialog: the file section can now be resized by hovering the mouse just above the file section title and dragging the sash up or down, making the message section increase/decrease accordingly (bug 343712).
• Also show committer if different from author in result dialogs of fetch, pull and push (bug 363023).
• History view: Adjust column widths and don't show e-mail addresses by default to improve space use
• Improve error reporting for pull failures due to conflicts
• When opening a resource which exists in more than one project (due to nested projects), open it in the most specific project (bug 404629).

GitHub Connector Features

• Adapt github connector to use JGit/EGit 3.0
• Switch UserPlan fields to long instead of int
  • This expected size can be common for large Enterprise installs.
• Add service support for contents API

Performance Improvements

• Lessen the re-indexing work and number of queued jobs (bug 381856).
