newbie Q - best practice reviewing diff local/remote master [message #661673]

Hi,
When I can't push to a remote repository because the push is not a fast
forward and I need to do a pull, I would like to know the difference
between what I am about to pull and what I have committed locally. (I an
also interested in diff between "pull" and workspace, but this is not as
important).

I want to know this because I want to know how much trouble I will have
with a potential merge (maybe it is best to have someone fix "their
mistakes" before merging, or maybe I should perform some additional
cleanup, etc.)

What is the recommended way of doing this? I tried looking at the
synchronize view, and it does not seem to give me what I want (it is at
least very different from the synchronize view I am accustomed to with SVN).

I am otherwise quite happy with Egit (currently on version 0.11.something)

Regards
- henrik

I think I found the source of my confusion - there are lots of outgoing
changes listed that should not be there. The changes are all in "bin"
directories. If I add "bin" to .gitignore, the synchronize view stops
listing them.

The bin directories seems to be automatically ignored expect in the
synchronize view. Is this by design? To force me to deal with them?

This is a bug. The bin folder is not excluded from the <working tree> node.
I opened bug 341502 for this.
However, it is excluded if you select the "Workspace" model in the drop-down
list, right?

Note that at the moment the EGit synchronize view does not fetch from remote
(See bug 323353).
You have to do that in advance.

Thanks.

Did not check, and now all my derived folders are in .gitignore...

Aha, that explains some of the additional confusion I had over not
seeing what I expected to see. Thanks for the tip.
