Allow more than one path hierarchy for grouping of path-like branch names

e.g. issue/internal/DEV-XYZ

Support interactive rebase directly from SmartGit.

To continue rebase after fixing a conflict, you have to press Commit.

To abort it, you select the project and press Discard?

These aren't very clear actions. It would be better if the buttons actually changed their names while in the middle of a rebase.

The ability to use a ssh connection or tunnel to remotely control git commands on a remote server. This would allow me to connect to other servers and do git / pull /logs...etc.

To unite Log and "Working Tree" window, there are two options: add Log functionality to the "Working Tree" window or add working tree functionality to the Log window. For conceptual and technical reasons, we opted for the latter option: https://smartgit.userecho.com/topics/655

Instead of having a separate Log window, this should be part of the main window in order to have all functionality of SmartGit be available in a single window.

This would mean to add all views of the Log to the main window, duplicating a couple of them with slightly different meaning, e.g. the Changes view in the Log is purely read-only, but can show comments - the one in the repository window can be used to stage/unstage; the Files view in the Log does not allow any of the main window's commands; the Branches view in the Log allows toggling anchor commits for the Commits graph and shows additional items, e.g. recyclable commits. It would be a horrible amount of work and still would require stand-alone Log windows, e.g. for file or subdirectory logs.

The simplified or "unified" diff view (the default on GitHub for example) is often the preferred way to look at changes, especially on smaller screens

See e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3040833

It is possible to tell git diff how to convert files into a readable form for the diff command.  For example with the following lines slx files are unzipped before the diff is shown

[diff "slx"]
textconv = unzip -c -a

As in this comment

> It would be awesome to have an option "Add To Ignore List" which allows to choose "add to .gitignore" or "add to .git/info/exclude (will be ignored at this computer only)".

When we right-click on a file to ignore it, it should give the option of ignoring it in a .gitignore (that gets committed along with the repo) or .git/info/exclude (which is unique to our computer) or a global gitignore for all repos (garbage files like Thumbs.db. etc)

Sometimes one want to clean up the working directory by removing all untracked files, which on the command line is done by the "git clean" command. It would be great to have this feature available in SmartGit.

The most important flags of the "git clean" command may be available as check boxes:

• -d: Remove untracked directories
• -x: Also remove ignored files
• -X: Only remove ignored files

The -f flag (force) may automatically be used(?).
