Subtree - see file history of remotes [message #1507343]

Hi,

I have a parent repository that contains other repositories as subtrees (without squash).
To see one file history in command line I can use:

git log file

However I am also interested to see history of file before adding it to parent project.
In command line I can do:

git log remote/branch -- file

When using Egit - Show in History on file I can have results as the first command.
Is it possible to see history of file on brach in the specific remote repository to see the same results as using second command?

Yellow button "Show all changes ..." shows too much - all changes of all subtree not squashed history.

"All branches and tags" without yellow button has no effects in my case.

If in Egit it is not possible, can you advice some other graphical tool (both for win and linux) that can do that.

Thanks for any advice,

Tomek

checkout the remote tracking branch and deselect "Show all branches" in the history view

Hi Matthias,

In our case (Tomasz and mine) we have subtree projects in sub-directories of parent project. The level of subtree in parent is one below as it is in original repository. When doing checkout to one of remote repository of of one of subtree project, all subtree projects are disappearing and files of this subtree project are showing up on parent level.
Did I understand wrongly your advice or I am missing something?
Thanks,

Marek
