New and Noteworthy 2.1
- Click "Push to Gerrit..." on repository nodes in the Repositories View or "Team > Remote > Push to Gerrit..." in the team menu in order to push changes to Gerrit for code review, this way you now can specify the branch you are targeting on the fly.
The Staging View now has a context menu action Delete which makes it possible to delete untracked files directly from the view. The Repositories View has the same action.
When all the selected files are workspace resources, it's possible to undo the delete using the "Edit > Undo" menu.
Before, it was always necessary to locate the file in the Package Explorer or Navigator. In the case of non-workspace resources, it was necessary to leave Eclipse.
After having entered the commit message, it's now possible to commit using the "Ctrl+Enter" (or "Cmd+Enter" on Mac OS X) shortcut instead of clicking on the toolbar icon.
When there is a problem on a file, it was previously only possible to see this in the Package Explorer or Navigator. Now the decorations are also shown when preparing a commit, in the Commit Dialog and in the Staging View:
The Git Tree Compare view now has a context menu, with Open Working Tree Version and a Show In menu:
It now also acts as a selection provider, so that other views (e.g. History view) can track the selection of the Tree Compare view.
Instead of OURS/THEIRS, the conflict markers now show more useful
information. For example, a conflicting cherry-pick:
<<<<<<< master
a
=======
b
>>>>>>> bad1dea Message of the commit I'm cherry-picking
A conflict during rebase:
<<<<<<< Upstream, based on master
a
=======
b
>>>>>>> b161dea Message of a commit I'm rebasing
- Click "Collect Garbage..." on repository nodes in the Repositories
View to run JGit's new gc implementation. Caution: We did a lot
of tests but gc is a complex algorithm so there still might be some
problems in corner cases so be cautious and don't use it on your
most precious repositories without a backup. If in doubt run native
git's
git fsckin order to check consistency.
- Click "Properties" on a repository node in the Repositores View to access a new property page displaying repository storage statistics
EGit does now decorate local branches tracking another local branch with the number of commits the checked out local branch differs from the other local branch it's tracking.

- Now synchronization configuration is persisted between eclipse sessions.
- Users can also "pin" configured synchronization.
- Performance of decorations in Synchronize View was improved
- "Create Patch..." command was added to the context menu of the Synchronize View
- MultiPullResultDialog supports multi-selection. The details button in MultiPullResultDialog can now also work with multi-selections.
- Staging View prompts if there are unsaved files on commit
- Merge does now support option --squash (see git-merge)
- "Show In > Git Repositories" in Repositories View supports multi-selection
