The context menu in 'Git Tree Compare' seems not to work.
Comment 1 Remy Suen CLA 2011-08-25 17:19:28 EDT 
Looking at the code, I think there just isn't a context menu and not necessarily a programmatic error.

Still an error though ;-)

What kind of entries did you expect to see, Dani? Well, besides 'Open'.

E.g. those that I also see in the Synchronize view.
Comment 5 Markus Keller CLA 2011-09-27 15:45:21 EDT 
Open, Open With, Show In, Copy.

I guess the rest are CVS-specific actions that are not really applicable for Git, since Git has no operations to update individual files.

I need that menu. I'll fix it.

https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/7534/ pushed to Gerrit for review.

This fix adds the menus for the object contributions, 'Show In' and 'Open Working Tree Version'. As an additional goodie it adds the missing selection provider, so that other views (e.g. History view) can track the selection of the Tree Compare view.

Added to New and Noteworthy for 2.1:

Verified in 2.1.0.201209032123.

Small improvement (don't show context menu if selection is empty):
