It has been brought up and I believe there is an issue. I am still finding
it hard to believe that Eclipse made this change. Local history has nothing
to do with our plug-in and so it seems ludicrous that every single Team
provider has to assume responsibility for taking over this feature. This is
actually a bigger issue in 3.3 I believe.
