Description Michael Valenta CLA 2002-02-28 09:53:15 EST 
Although not essential, it would be nice to have hover help in the sync view 
that displayed the commit message associated with an incomming change so you 
could see what was fixed. Currently you can get this information by choosing 
Show in Resource History. However, this results in a change in UI context, 
expecially if you are using fast views.

Hover help wouldn't be good choice because commit comments can be long and 
multiline.

However, the idea is correct: it would be nice to see the comments.  James and 
I were just discussing this yesterday, actually.
Comment 2 Michael Valenta CLA 2002-03-01 08:07:55 EST 
Would something similar to the codeassist window in JDT be appropriate? Having 
the user explicitly perform an operation (like CTRL-space) is good since we'll 
have to hit the server to get the comment. We'll also want to look into how to 
fetch the message for a single revision instead of fetching the whole log.
Comment 3 Kevin McGuire CLA 2002-04-29 18:08:15 EDT 
Lets try again without the hover help this time :)

reworded title from
    Hover help in sync view would be nice

since we now know that using hover help for this is a big problem.
