create context from git diff [message #1299974]

Hi,

sometimes it would be useful (in particular for code reviews w/o Gerrit)
to create a context from a given git diff between to branches.

E.g., a colleague has created a branch NEW and I want to review his
changes. Then I can create a git diff showing me the changed files via

git diff --name-status master..NEW

It would be extremely helpful if I could create a Mylyn context
containing these files. Is this already possible somehow? Or is this a
feature request?

Regards,
Jens

In theory, if you use the EGit Mylyn integration, you can right click on a commit and select "Add to Task Context," provided your Git config contains the following section:

[bugtracker]
url = <task repository URL>

However, this appears to be broken. I've opened the following bug; you may wish to add yourself to the CC:
