Support Mercurial 4.7
Please add support for the latest Mercurial version! My org mandates using our own modified Mercurial clone branched off of 4.7, so I can't go to 4.5, which SmartGit 18.1 supports :(
Use Watchman to speed up Git by orders on magnitude
Newer versions of git support Watchman (https://github.com/facebook/watchman), which vastly improves the speed of local Git background operations. Would be awesome if SmartGit dealt with setting it up for repos.

Pull with regular intervals
If there is several repos that are dependent of each other it is easy to forget pull to keep all uptodate.
I suggest an option to turn on AutoPull for defined intervals per repository.
This way you can be sure to always have the latest
Filter Files: support for Ctrl + Backspace
"Filter Files" textbox doesn't support a simple, standard shortcut "Ctrl + Backspace" for a whole word deletion. It's a small inconvenience but a bit frustrating.
In other places, like "Find Action" dialog I can see the above shortcut is supported.
VSCODE-like introduction of new features
SmartGit release notes (for each build in Preview) is in the form of a text file.
Visual Studio Code's release notes includes a gif to explain new features.
Can SmartGit do the same, but showcasing new features in the blog?
Branches view: indicator/icon in "local branches" list of which ones don't have a corresponding server branch
With a lot of active development and pull requests, branches I checkout/use/leave unattended/etc. can remain. Having a quick indicator showing which ones do not have a remote branch hint that I can remove them.
It used to be quicker to know which branches don't have a remote but are tracked (remote was deleted) when hovering over a branch name and the tooltip shows "this branch is tracked but no remote branch exists", but 18.2 truncates the message and user must press F1 to see rest of message.
(Program) Update notifcation: better wording (change the "Update" to something which sounds less like a system restart)
So when there is an update it says Restart/Remind Me later. I kept putting it off with the Remind Me later because I was busy with other stuff and Thought by Restart it needed to do a full restart of the computer as many programs need to restart the computer on update. Perhaps change the wording to Relaunch or Update.
Branch-specific commit prefix
When create a new branch, add one more textfield Branch Prefix.
So I can type here, for example, "UniversalSet".
Then each my commit to this branch get automatically prefix [UniversalSet]:
TODO save this to remove GIT server also, so other developer commits also will be prefixed.
yes possible todo prefs: Add Branch Prefix.
yes it can be empty
