Hi

we have a project with multiple submodules.

Between two project releases it may happen that the submodules have been updated more than once.

If I select in the log the commits of two releases, I can normally see from which state a submodule has changed to which state (the two hashes). But If I want to see which files have been changed in that submodule, I have to remember the two hashes of the submodule, open the submodule log, select the commits referred to those two hashes and finally I can see the changed files. 

I would like SmartGit to kind of automate this process, letting me see immediately the changes in the submodule between two main project commits. Important to note, I would like to open those changes in a separate log window, so that I can keep the main project log open.

Since git 2.17.0 an option was added to git fetch to remove local tags that are not present on the remote server. 

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fetch

This option is --prune-tags and should be used with --prune.

Unfortunately there is no option in SmartGit to use this feature. 

SmartGit only offers two related options:

• "Prune obsolete remote tracked branches": this adds the --prune flag for branches ex:
  • git fetch --prune
• "Update existing and fetch new tags": this call --force with the --tags option
  • git fetch --prune --no-tags
  • git fetch --tags --force

Using both options local tags will always remain after fetching from the server and the only way to prune is via command line.

This is a useful feature for the following scenario:

1. UserA push tagA to origin
2. UserB fetch tagA from origin
3. UserA delete tagA from origin
4. UserB fetch from origin, tagA stays on his local repository.
5. UserB has no way using SmartGit to know that tagA was deleted. His next push will push tagA again.

Thank you

Hello smartgit support team :)
Can you add arm64 (aarch64) support jar?You can find it here:
https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libswt-atk-gtk-4763.so()(64bit)

download the file:
https://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/28/Everything/aarch64/Packages/e/eclipse-swt-4.7.3a-5.fc28.aarch64.rpm

extract it.
at usr/lib/java/ you will find:
swt.jat.

cp and replace (and rename) at smartgit/lib/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64.jar

then it will work on aarch64 machine. 

The same can be done with arm in this file location:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libswt-gtk-4763.so

http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/28/Everything/armhfp/Packages/e/eclipse-swt-4.7.3a-5.fc28.armv7hl.rpm

so can you add that smartgit will search also this file names when it load libswt-gtk-4763.so:
org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.aarch64.jar

org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.armv7hl.jar

and create them from swt.jar that is correspond to  architect:
 
org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.aarch64.jar -> https://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/28/Everything/aarch64/Packages/e/eclipse-swt-4.7.3a-5.fc28.aarch64.rpm (swt.jar inside)

org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.armv7hl.jar -> http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/28/Everything/armhfp/Packages/e/eclipse-swt-4.7.3a-5.fc28.armv7hl.rpm (swt.jar inside). 

This will be really helpful to run it also for arm base computer! thank you! :)

Since the version 18.1.0, SmartGit change how log entries are display: it will skip Author information if it's identical to the above commit.

This kind of modification is too related to SmartGit's user preferences, personnaly I think it is a regression. It could be nice that SmartGit's developers add an option to enable or disable this behavior.

Flexibility to have date and author first.

A picture is worth a thousand words and carefully selected emojis in commit messages can really help sift through commits quickly. 

Windows 10 and Mac keyboards support typing in emojis directly but its obscure and relies heavily on system fonts. 

It'd be great to see support for emoji text codes like :bug: or any other emoji from https://www.webpagefx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/ in commit message prompts. 

Similar to git flow support, it would be great to have support for commitizen: https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli.

Add support for TypeScript language

Currently if you have multiple changed files in your working copy at once, and you select all of them, it will only show the diff of the first file. Using Show Changes (F4) will open a new window for every file you've selected which is not very convenient.

Ideally the diff in the main view contains the changes for all selected files, not just the first, like so:

Alternatively it would also work if using Show Changes for multiple files would open one window with all the diffs contained within, so you can still easily navigate between the files but close the view with one click.

Either of these solutions would make it more convenient to evaluate what changes are currently in the working copy and if there's some changes that can be discarded.

I would like to be able to filter the log using logical operators. For example, I'd like to perform searches like:

"crash +startup +UI"

"settings -frontend"

"<my user name> +merge"

etc.

Basically I want to be able to combine search terms using logical "and" and "not" operations, so that I can filter the log down to only the specific commits I'm interested in. 

Currently this is not possible, and makes it difficult to find a particular commit. For example, searching for my user name might turn up thousands of commits, but searching for my username AND "crash" will filter that list down considerably.

This is a simpler version of a far more complex request that has been open since before SmartGit had this UserEcho site (see Log: filter query language [SG-10517])
