1. clone a repo, e.g.
   http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.text.git/
2. select two tags
3. Synchronize with each other

==> this is completely broken.

Workaround is to check out the tag, import all projects and then compare.
Comment 2 Markus Keller CLA 2012-01-10 05:46:42 EST 
Concrete example:
- check out branch R3_7_maintenance of
    git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git
- select tags v_B61 and v_B62
- Synchronize with each other
=> result is empty, although v_B61 is the direct parent of v_B62 and the commit for the latter is clearly not empty

The command only works on things that are imported. This is clearly unexpected when doing the commands via 'Git Repositories' view.
