Hi,

First, thanks for the work on egit -- it is progressively becoming more and more useful.

I found that spite UTF-8 being the default encoding, egit is interpreting (or displaying) names as ISO-8859-1 in the history view.

BTW, something I really miss from egit is "Team > Compare With > HEAD revision" or something like that.

Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
José Fonseca
