WHOA … So I just installed the Git Eclipse plugin and kicked some tires. Made a change and checked it in and all. But I noticed that revision history on a file included changes I made yesterday BEFORE I HAD INSTALLED GIT. How does Eclipse Git know of these changes? They are indeed accurate. Does the basic Eclipse keep a cache of recent file changes and then they get ported into Git or Git reads them somehow?
Thanks
Eclipse also has the concept of a “Local History”, which is independent of EGit. See this chapter in the Eclipse help.
