Hi all,

I'm currently implementing EGit integration with Synchronize view. Current status of my project is that, is supports selecting two branches and viewing changes in Synchronize view.

Everything works fine if branch that was selected as base branch is same as currently used (in git's terminology this means that this is a HEAD). But things goes wrong wen selected branch is different then HEAD. In this case team framework will use local files as a 'local' (in three-way-compare) source, this is quite logical for centralized version control systems. In this case result that will be shown in synchronize view will be corrupted. Additionally all code previous in compare view will be also corrupted because 'local' is pointing on local files instead of pointing on files that are in selected branch.

I'm wondering is there any (simple) way to bypass this and initialize 'local' with data from selected branch ?
