Several times recently I found myself wanting to reset to HEAD^ or similar relative references. I've also wanted at least once to reset to a specific SHA. From what I can see the Reset command in egit doesn't support either of these.

Similarly, I can't reset to an entry in the "Git Reflog" view (that would really be handy), or from a window showing a commit (ditto).

How hard would it be to add some of these features?

File a bug, your ideas sound fine.

Using History view you can reset on any given commit. Just choose "Reset" and then reset type from context menu on commit you want to reset to.

I hadn't examined all the operations that are available on the right-click menu of items in the History view. This is a sensible place to include 'reset' and the like.

But it shouldn't be the only place. In particular I still think this and all the other per-commit operations should be available in commit windows, and maybe also from the reflog view. The History view is not generally displaying the full repository history, especially for repositories that include more than one Eclipse project. The reflogs are always there, and if I'm about to reset to a commit, I probably want to see all the details in its own window anyway.

Surely this is a very easy enhancement?
