Hi all,

    I can't find the "quick diff" feature listed on the Eclipse git
website. I'm using version 0.5 (should be the latest). The history graph
and diffs for changes /_already committed_/ are very nice. I seem to be
able to execute a "diff from index" on a per-file basis; I'd like to see
changes made to all files (what's going to be committed), and possibly
diff with HEAD instead of the index.

    I'm happy with the command line, but I need to convince some
coworkers to switch from CVS and they're used to the (pretty nice)
synchronize view in Eclipse.

regards, Nicholas https://ntung.com

Enable it in Workspace/Preferences (search for quickdiff) by selecting "A Git Revision". (If an editor is open you have to reopen that editor to see the diff immediatley).
