Description Remy Suen CLA 2011-07-06 10:55:23 EDT 
I have some unstaged changes for some files that aren't in my workspace (like egit/SUBMITTING_PATCHES). Double-clicking doesn't open the compare editor and two of the three menu options in the context menu does nothing ('Replace with File in Git Index', and 'Add to Git Index').

I can DND the file to the bottom to make it a staged file though. From here, I can use the context menu to say 'Remove to Git Index' and that does work.

Also opening the file via double click does not work.
Comment 2 Jens Baumgart CLA 2012-03-19 12:07:27 EDT 
1. Add to Git Index is working

2. Opening compare editor via double click is not working

3. Proposed change for making "Replace with file in git index" action work:

The merged change only fixes 3. Comparing (on double-click) still does not work in master.

Sorry, it actually works for the unstaged changes. What's still not working is Comparing (on double-click) for STAGED changes. Filed bug 377273 for that.
