That is exactly my point! I compare source very very often, it is > 70% of the usage-time of version-control related software. > > There are nice GUI tools for that, like gitk or gitx on the mac.

The diff tool of Eclipse provides syntax highlighting, auto-completion, javadoc and every other fancy stuff which Eclipse can do. You cannot have that in a standalone git GUI. Further, using another GUI besides Eclipse also eats time. It has to be configured, to be maintained, to be started and you always have to switch to it. This sucks :| Not to mention that you will not get the java-related features... Anyway, there is the git plugin for eclipse but it seems to be buggy. Currently I cannot push to the repository, I will check whether it works with the new build which they released today or so.
