Description Deepak Azad CLA 2012-02-09 22:16:12 EST 
I frequently find myself viewing or modifying the following 3 properties for a local branch.

	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master
	rebase = true

For now I keep the config file open in a text editor and view and edit the properties there. However, it would be useful to at least see the information right in 'Git Repositories' view.

For a repository the current checked out branch is shown next to it like 
   eclipse.jdt.ui [integration]

Maybe something similar can be done for branches as well, e.g.
   master [remote = github, merge = refs/heads/master, rebase = true]
   integration [remote = origin, merge = refs/heads/integration, rebase = true]

This has been implemented in 2.0, you can right click on a branch in the Git Repositories view and select Configure Branch...
