R4E keeps a copy of the base and target files under review, however it's currently not possible to import those changes to the work space of the reviewer, It seems possible for R4E to create a patch using the base and target files, the user can then have the possibility to apply the patch to the work space. The patch may not apply if the state of the work space is at a different level, this may actually require to create a patch which spans more than one commit. e.g. if a push included three commits and assuming that all the three commits are available under the same review. A useful patch would need to be created between commit one to commit 3. More discussion needed.
WE should use the same mecanism as what's used in the Gerrit Connector to create a branch in the workspace to sync with the review content. This will work for Git. For other SCMs, we will need another mecanism (but that's lower priority)
Mylyn has been restructured, and our issue tracking has moved to GitHub [1]. We are closing ~14K Bugzilla issues to give the new team a fresh start. If you feel that this issue is still relevant, please create a new one on GitHub. [1] https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-mylyn
