Description Marc Khouzam CLA 2010-03-25 14:27:53 EDT 
This is probably not an EGit bug, but probably a quickdiff one.  I was asked to open a bug anyway, while at EclipseCon.

Currently, I have to globally select what quickdiff bases itself on: Disk, CVS or Git.  However, I may sometimes have both a CVS project and Git project checked-out.

Quickdiff should offer two options: Disk, Repository.
This 'Repository' option would choose whichever repository type the file I'm editing uses.  With this, I can always keep my quickdiff set to 'repository' and use CVS and Git interchangeably in my workspace.

Thanks

This is definitely platform/team issue, not EGit. We have/see the same problem with MercurialEclipse plugin. Please reassign it to platform.

Which product/component would take care of this?

Currently, there can be only one repository provider associated with a project, so the request totally makes sense to me. The extension labeled "Repository" (as Marc suggested) could be placed in o.e.team.ui and be resolved to a proper scm provider when needed.

Any volunteers to fix this? I'm eager to help, as always ;)
