Hi Guys,
I saw it running now, here are my initial comments/impressions:

I have a git.git clone on my eclipse and now egit can open it, cool! :) But it wasn't that fast, it took some minutes to finish building the whole tree. Also, changing projects (different git repos) makes the cpu go very high, and what opened fast the first time takes minutes after...

When reading the email I thought the new history page would have the same features from the current, but it doesn't. It looks promissing thought.

My first impression is that I like the current way of showing files in the strutucture compare better. In the future I would like the option to make it open on the left pane (where package explorer is) and have the options to collapse/expand directories, present in flat/hierarchical modes, have the fast view, etc.

Comments now can't be automatically wrapped. I actually prefer to leave wrapping to the computer, I don't like having to manually fix line lenghts when amending a comment, I think eclipse should do it. Also, currently, the history page usually has little space allocated for it and currently the first lines of the comment are visible. In the new page I have to scroll to see the comment when the history page is not maximized.

[]s, Roger.
