Description Jan Willies CLA 2012-11-20 13:34:15 EST 
I want to merge a remote branch_r into my local branch_l:

1. Open Git Repository Exploring
2. Right click on "Branches" -> "Remote Tracking" -> "branch_r" and select "Synchronize with workspace"
3. Perspective switches to "Team Synchronizing" and a pop up with "Synchronizing Git: No changes found" appears. 

Expected behavior:
Eclipse should show the differences between the branches and let me synchronize the changes from one side to the other (on a single file basis)

It worked for a few releases, but now when using a feature on a workspace without projects, no changes are detected.

AFAIK "Synchronize with Workspace" has never worked if the workspace did not contain the files. The "Team Synchronize" framework only works properly for Eclipse IResources, i.e., projects, folders, and files that are in the Eclipse workspace.

Try "Compare with Working Tree" (context menu on the branch in the Git Repositories view) instead.
