Aha! I had no idea about that option, or that it was turned on. I had originally tried clicking the "Date" column header, which does nothing, and so I assumed this wasn't supported.

Thanks!

Currently, SmartGit will automatically download and install updates, only prompting to restart. Not sure how to get any more seamless than that? (Not even Chrome can update without restarting.)

This would be nice for less-technical people (non-programmers) who maybe aren't comfortable setting up SSH keys themselves.
