Description Jacek Kolodziejczyk CLA 2011-07-05 18:17:08 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

The commit and/or staging views should be open by default in the Team Synchronizing perspective, if it is to be a central place to work with versioning.

Reproducible: Always

Just to clarify, which commit view are you referring to?
Comment 2 Jacek Kolodziejczyk CLA 2011-11-09 04:19:45 EST 
I am referring to something like GitGui where you can browse the changes, stage and commit in one spot. I'm not sure eGit has such a view. The mentioned actions  are the ones most often executed and having them immediately available after open synchronization perspective would greatly improve usability.
Comment 3 Robin Stocker CLA 2013-05-26 15:04:56 EDT 
The Git Staging view is included in the "Git Repository Exploring" perspective. I'm not sure about adding it to "Team Synchronizing", as that is provided by Platform Team.

Dani, what do you think, would it be ok to add the "Git Staging" view to "Team Synchronizing" (via perspectiveExtension)?

No. The Team Synchronizing perspective is generic. It allows all team providers to hook into the Synchronize and History views. However, users can configure that perspective and e.g. add other views.

The 'Git Repository Exploring' perspective already contains other non-repository related views. I would just rename it to "Git".

Ok, I thought so too. Closing this bug as WONTFIX.
