To reproduce: Have both eclipse.platform.team and eclipse.platform.ui in the git repositories view. Open an editor on /org.eclipse.compare/compare/org/eclipse/compare/internal/CompareLinkHelper.java (either from the package explorer or from the working tree in the repo view directly; it doesn't matter whether projects have been imported). Have the history view open, select eclipse.platform.ui in the repo view. The history view shows the history of that repo. Now click into the open editor for CompareLinkHelper.java. Expected: the history of that file is shown (1 commit, e0dddbcd in eclipse.platform.team) Actual: the history is empty. The view does show the correct path and repository, though.
Caused by commit 626d2927. That commit tries to show HEAD if it changed, and sets the commitToLoad for the GenerateHistoryJob to HEAD. But HEAD is not part of that file's history, and somehow the job then never triggers any UI update. It appears that commitToLoad can be used only if a history has already been loaded, but not for the initial load. (In the above steps the repo changes, so EGit will do an initial load of the eclipse.platform.team history.)
