Repository Groups
When a repository group is renamed in the Repositories view, a border is drawn around the editor inside the tree:
Some commands that can work on multiple repositories have been enabled on repository groups. The context menu on a repository group now also has the Pull and Switch Repositories To commands.
Pull pulls all repositories contained in the group. Switch Repositories To allows the user to do a branch switch in all repositories, provided there is a local branch with with a name common between them all. Both commands were already available if multiple repositories were selected; newly they are also active when repository groups are selected.
Switch Repositories To→New Branch... creates a new local branch at the current HEAD in all the selected repositories.
Unified Diffs
There is a new command Show Unified Diff available when two commits or branches or tags from the same repository are selected.
The command opens a diff viewer in the editor area of Eclipse showing the unified diff with the older commit as base. This diff viewer already existed in the Commit Viewer, "Diff" tab, where it showed the unified diff of the commit against its parent. This viewer is now available stand-alone, and can show the diff between any two commits.
This is a read-only editor; many editor commands such as Find... are enabled. Save is disabled, but Save As... is available.
Comparing Commits
It is now possible to compare two branches or tags in the Repositories View via the commands formerly available only in the History view: "Compare with Each Other", "Compare in Tree", and the new "Show Unified Diff".
The commit selection dialog openend from the Compare With→Commit... command now allows the user to search in the commit list using the same UI as is used in the Git History view.
Other Changes
EGit 5.7 includes lots of less noticeable improvements in the UI, plus a number of bug fixes. The complete list of new features and bug fixes is available in the release notes.
