No matter what I do, Eclipse (EGit) doesn’t display the changes. I’ve searched a lot for this issue, but cannot solve it. A friend of mine has the same issue. In the past everything worked fine, but from one day to the other the issue occured.
When I hit Team > Synchronize Workspace, only the dialog “Synchronizing Git: No changes found.” appears. When I choose Team > Advanced > Synchronize, the same happens.
I also installed a new Eclipse (with a fresh Windows) and issue was still there. With my Ubuntu notebook everything is fine.
Does anybody have the same issue? Is there a solution? I also tried to install the plugins mentioned in this answer, but it didn’t work for me.
Update
Eclipse also displays incoming changes (after fetching from upstream) and the changed files (with an arrow), but the synchronize view still doesn’t show the changes.
Update 2 I’ve tested a project from Github and there everything works as apected. What could be the difference between these two projects? I’ve checked the repository settings and they are equal. Could the authentication cause the issues? Like I’ve said, the project works fine on my Ubuntu machine.
I used to have the same problem but upgrading to EGit 2.2 seems to have taken care of it. Things are now consistent between “git status” at command line and “Team / Synchronize Workspace” in Eclipse.
You can get EGit from here or you can add the update site http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-2.2 to Eclipse.
