Hi James,
I think you have to fetch the remote branch first.

Subject: [egit-dev] Getting the synchronize view to show incoming
changes
Hi List,
I've been trying the latest (nightly) egit/jigt bits the last couple days
without much success.
I'm trying to use synchronize to review and potentially pull changes from a
remote. As it happens the remote branch is a plain old fast-forward of my
current master, and there are no local changes and no staged changes; a git
merge would result in a fast-forward.
When I do team > Synchronize:
source: remote_name / branch
destination: <local.git> / HEAD
The synchronize takes some time and the view reports: "There are no more
Incoming/Outgoing changes for Git Change Set."
Am I doing something wrong; is this expected to work? I've also looked in
the History view, Compare with, etc. and can't figure out how to compare the
current state of the tree with a remote branch.
Cheers,
James
