Description Szymon Brandys

We need to have a structure compare view in Orion.

We could use it for comparing commits shown in Git Log UI. A commit usually contains changes to many files, so we should show changes in Structure Compare UI and then when a diff is selected open our current Compare UI for the selection.

It would be interesting to explore if we can just enable links to another server that already implements a UI for this. For example, see the same commit displayed in two different UIs on two different servers:

http://git.eclipse.org/c/e4/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=7ba8a11989f76257dcff4d0aff1cbe42d0584fdd
https://github.com/eclipse/orion.client/commit/7ba8a11989f76257dcff4d0aff1cbe42d0584fdd
and

I should probably add: I would prefer us investigating a solution where we show links to these other servers over investing into a third UI for the same thing.

Makes sense. This is post M7 thing though, I guess.
