Description Michael Keppler CLA 2016-09-07 07:35:51 EDT 
Several colleagues and I have been complaining that using the refresh in the repository view doesn't refresh anything, since it does not recognize updates in the working area, if those were done externally to Eclipse.

Now I learned that I can make those external updates appear by hitting the refresh button of the staging view instead.

Since I expect that several other users have wrongly used the repository view refresh action with the same intention, I want to suggest running the working area refresh _additionally_ when hitting the refresh button of the repository view (i.e. the refresh button would invoke its current functionality and the one of the staging view).
