If not, filing a bug would be good.
Filing a bug really won't make a differense, because it is an  
obvious omission.
I really don't think it improves the image of the project by asking  
people not to file bugs. After all, it's not present in the current  
system (whether obvious or not) and having it tracked in Bugzilla  
means that it can be assigned a milestone, people can cc themselves on  
the bug, add comments, or even turn into a parent for several other  
bugs. Furthermore, it will encourage openness of defining what is  
still yet to be implemented in J/EGit which may not be apparent to  
casual users.
Any feature request for obvious features will just add unnecessary  
work.
How does having a bug in a bug tracking system create unnecessary  
work? Particularly for a project that only has 11 open bugs? Is it  
somehow going to make the feature more difficult to implement because  
there's a bug associated with it?
And, oh, patches for new features and bug fixes, including patches  
for obvious
features. :)
All such patches must be attached to an Eclipse bug (if they're from  
non-committers). So suggesting that somehow filing the bug in the  
first place will assist this process is mistaken.
