Request to incorporate ediff about magit HOT 8 CLOSED

Has anybody worked on getting the ediff support from egg back into magit? I personally like the patch style viewing but some of my colleagues are resistant to using Magit if there isn't an easy way to launch a side-by-side diff.

Try
(eval-after-load "vc-hooks"
'(define-key vc-prefix-map "=" 'ediff-revision))
and then C-x v = when editing a file: Is this what you want, or do you want something more complex?

My primary wish:

In any view that shows a unified diff either in the main window or in diff window, pressing "*" pops up the equivalent ediff (some other key would be fine).

Noted. Definitely "something more complex".

I think I'm about halfway to getting this feature implemented on my local machine. Just dropping a note in case anyone else reads this and is thinking about doing it.

I know its not exactly what you asked for, since it used diff-mode and not ediff, but I have a diff-git.el package that depends on magit and it lets you use diff-mode to examine and modify the staged and unstaged diffs (including (un)staging hunks).

Pull request #165 implements this feature: Press e anywhere within a unified diff to see the two versions in Ediff. (Or the 3 versions, in the case of unmerged files in the status buffer.)

Pull from git://github.com/pjweisberg/magit.git issue40 to try it out before it's merged.

I love this feature for jumping through hunks of a file's changes in a diff! Is there a way to keep skipping through the hunks of all files of a complete branch's diff in this mode?
