Eclipses git support: right click on a file, show history, navigate between classes, notice eclipse hanging every time you switch between classes because it’s spending unreasonable amounts of time loading the git history while blocking the main thread every time with no caching whatsoever

Facepalm

I run into thousands of moronic things like that on an average work week

I use Eclipse with Subversion as the VCS. With Subversion you can disable to automatic History tab update on selection change (ie unlink from Editor). Can you not do the same with the Git functionality?

Never had that problem. idea changesets: index no deltas on file or all deltas, but can't index 1 delta. All or nothing. Facepalm.
