This thread is really high in google searches, and threw me off when I first started using git. I think most people who are finding this thread are probably wanting to know how to compare files with egit, or why they can't see the compare functionality at all.

If you're using egit, and your project is setup properly in eclipse, then you should be able to just right-click and compare-with (head, etc). If you don't see this option, perhaps you're project isn't actually being managed by egit. check that the project name has something like [yourproject master/branch] attached the tittle, and that under "Team" (right click on project) you're seeing git options/commands. If not, try team-share and hook up your project to the right repository.
