Egit 1.1 In the Package Explorer: - Select two projects that are in different repositories. - Team -> Switch To -> Another Branch -> select a branch that both projects exist in (in my case, I have a branch called "work" that I work in) - Notice that only the first project is switched to the other branch. To switch both, you need to go and reselect the second project and do this again: Team -> Switch To -> Another Branch -> work
also let this multi select work in the git repository view (i can create a new issue if needed?) git kind of likes that you have many repositories for common sets of plugins but not a whole product. This is how we are organized, our complete product is split up over 10+ repositories. Now if you want to switch between branches this is very time consuming because you have to do one after each other (and eclipse builds then constantly) It would be very nice if there was a multi select option in the git repository view where you also have the "switch to" menu item and that shows the common names all the selection have over there branches (those are the same anyway) This way you can do in 1 click in the git repo view a switch over 10+ repositories and eclipse also sees that (hopefully) as a single item and starts building when everything is switched.
I agree this would be useful in such scenarios. Some teams use git submodules to work on a vector of repositories, there's some overhead to explicitly maintain the submodule versions but this way you can precisely define which versions of the involved projects map to each other.
+1.
