Re: [PATCH] toggle "show change path by default"

It turned out to be pretty simple to implement that on top of Eugene's
patch. I have attached the patch (to be applied to HistoryView.java).

Just one comment regarding the patch and two general question:

* I would suggest renaming the actions toggleTextWrapAction,
toggleTextAction, and toggleListAction to something more descriptive, e.g.
  toggleTextWrapAction -> toggleWrapCommentsAction,
  toggleTextAction -> toggleShowComments,
  toggleListAction -> toggleShowAffectedPathsAction.

* What's the preferred way of submitting subclipse patches: sending them
do the dev mailing list or putting them into the issue tracker?

* Is there a general rule for Eclipse (or more specifically Subclipse)
when to put some persistent setting into the preferences dialog and when
to keep them 'local' to e.g. a view?
