Thanks for the reply Robin.
I checked again with a fresh workspace, new project, freshly created local git repo with it, added folder and a test file, committed, changed something, re-committed and then tried to see the history of
a) the project
or
b) a folder in the project
I succeeded on neither of them. Since it works for you I assume, I'm just not looking at the right place.
These are the places I checked (screenshots):
- Right click on file, "Compare With", "History..." -> works fine (http://screencast.com/t/ZWY1NmFlYWEt)
- Right click on project, "Compare With", everything greyed out (http://screencast.com/t/MDQwMjc2)
- Right click on folder, "Compare With", everything greyed out (http://screencast.com/t/NWY3YzZiYz)
I also had a look at "right click", "Team", but there's no history there. Also checked the "Git Repositories" view (http://screencast.com/t/MWJjZjFmYj).
Regards
Kay

The latter two I don't think of as getting the history. It would
be useful to have behavior there, but not "history".
Try this instead to see the history
- Right click > Show In > History
- drag folder to history (if open)

I quickly checked on how the history with e.g. SVN/Subclipse can be viewed. There it's "Team", "Show History".

Indeed, that's the location I didn't know of - thanks for the hint. Actually it's even documented in the user guide. Must have missed that, sorry!
It may be worth thinking about adding the history also to "Team" menu - as mentioned above. For former SVN/Subclipse users, that's probably where they look for it.

I placed it the The team menu from the start myself, but somebody moved it
and I wasn't fast enough to reject the patch. It pussled me a bit too
becuase I didn't find it myself. I haven't checked the official user
interface guidelines yet to see if the move is consistent with those. It
is confusing though.
