That would be fine by me.... if the staging view became it's own
dialog/window.
All the incidental views that wrap around the Eclipse editors are
annoying to work with unless they are a table or a text area. For me
this means I don't use EGit staging because I hate playing games with
maximizing, minimizing, and resizing panels. Instead I stage with
SmartGit which gives me *brilliant*, 3-way (HEAD, Index, Working Copy)
line/hunk staging power. I'm much happier alt-tabbing to stage than
fighting the Eclipse UI. When I do commit with Eclipse (which is
actually frequently - mostly for the changeid generation and the column
80 boundary line) I use the commit dialog.
seems I need to get a copy of SmartGit to learn how to improve EGit ;-)
Do you know that you can drag any Eclipse view off the main window
so that it becomes a separate Window ?
I don't like the commit dialog since it's modal and doesn't care
what has been added to the index.
