Hello,

 

I posted to the EGit community forum yesterday, expressing interest in contributing some enhancements to the Git Staging view, and hoping for some feedback on the planned enhancements.  I since realized that the dev mailing list is probably a better forum for this.

 

Here’s the post:

this looks great, nice that you plan to contribute these improvements.

Some comments on the screenshots you sent:

names:

- I think I prefer the view name "Staging View"

- I am not yet sure if I like "Working Tree Files"

menu actions in the details pane

- I don't understand why there is a "Commit..." action and what action it initiates

  (there is a commit button below the commit message editor already)

- the current EGit Staging View got a few more actions like "delete, ignore"

Mylyn tab:

- not sure if we want that since in the full blown workbench you may simply

use the separate Mylyn views. D&D to associate a task with a new

commit is a nice idea. I'd like to play with your layout so I'd appreciate if you

could provide it for review

- if a task is associated with a commit message would the task tab show

the details for the associated task ? this would be handy ...

Looking forward to review and test your contributions.
