Eclipse Juno, EGit Version 2.2.0.201212191850-r

I'm looking for the easiest way to compare my working tree

a) against the index (output similar to `git diff`) and
b) an arbitrary commit in the History View (output similar to e.g. `git diff HEAD~2`).

For b) the user manual mentions an option "Compare with working tree", but I can't find it..?

Thanks.

You should update to a newer version (latest release is 3.1.0, 3.2.0 will be released before x-mas)

The latest (developer build 3.2.0) version provides
Compare with > HEAD
Compare with > Index
Compare with > Git Index with HEAD (only enabled if some changes are staged)
Compare with > Previous Version
Compare with > Branch, Tag or Reference
Compare with > Commit

If you want to compare 2 arbitrary versions open the history view select 2 commits and click "Compare with each other"

Ah, I forgot to add http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates to the list of software sources.

The latest (developer build 3.2.0) version provides
...

So, not possible right now (using version 3.1.0)?

Thanks for your help!

no, all these options should also be available in 3.1, I am just to lazy to check,
AFAIR we changed the order of menu entries but all should be available in 3.1

OK, found it: it's not in the Team menu nor in a Git view but a separate entry in the context menu of the Package Explorer.

Thanks.

yes, it was always there, the top level menu entry is provided by platform or team framework and we added
the additional entries for git based actions
