There's no support for committing through Eclipse yet, let alone doing things like creating new branches or switching branches. But Robin has done a lot of work on the status and history viewing tools, to the point that you can use the QuickDiff feature in Eclipse to see which parts of a file you have recently modified (but not committed), which files/directories are modified in the Navigator, and view the "git shortlog" for the currently selected file/directory. > If it it not usable at the moment do you have any idea when it may be > usable? I know several developers really waiting for such support even > early or beta quality. I would say its *very* early alpha. It could cause your Eclipse workbench to run out of memory, and crash, especially on large projects. It also doesn't have that many features yet. ;-) -- Shawn.
