Add per-repository --git-dir option
Sometimes developers want/need to move the git repository (aka. .git directory) out of the working directory. The CLI provides an option --git-dir=/foo/bar which allows one to specify a custom .git directory location. As far as I understand, this can not be done with SmartGit.
It would be really cool if we could configure this on a per-repository basis.
Offer Downloads without the prebundled additions.
I understand the idea behind shipping known and tested versions, but I also don't want a couple of different versions of the same software on my computer, so would be nice to offer an advance download.
Currently, I have to delete and symlink the folders, but would be nice to just point it at the folders, as I couldn't seem to find where the JRE folder was set in the config.
Add 'fetch' command to toolbar
I can pull and then select an option to only fetch, but a toolbar button to go straight to fetch would be useful for me.
Also nice would be a way to pull without the dialog that comes up (perhaps only show the dialog when shift is down)?
Sorting tags in 'Add Tag'
Currently, tags are sorted from a-z, which in our case results in newest version tag being shown last. Please make it possible to change the sort order, maybe also by time when added. Also, it would be nice if tags could be filtered.
Allow to edit the file even if it contains mixed line endings.
I am working on project for several years (on Mac and Windows). I do not care what line endings are there and I do not want to change them, because then Blame function will show, that I have changed all the lines and it will become useless. I want to be able to remove some changes in commit view in files with mixed line endings.
View differences on commit window
When you would like to commit (or commit & push), it would be fine to have a 'Differences' button to see changes made before you commit them.
Syntax highlighting: improve Perl regex highlighting
It gets tripped up here:
if( $test =~ m!^(.*)/([^/]+)$! ) {
Here's another:
$localFileName =~ s!.*/!!;
Remove dropdowns from toolbar buttons
SmartGit 17.1 Preview 13. Please, remove dropdowns from toolbar buttons. There is a menu for all commands, tollbar is only for most often used ones. Feature distracts a lot!
SVN: kerberos authentication support
I can access my SVN repo with TortoiseSVN authorized by MIT Kerberos.
But cannot with SmartGit.
changes fiew - show only differences / hide trivial (comments and whitespaces...)
A pimped changes fiew would be nice, so I don't need to start it via beyond compare to see the facts. Most importent is the reducing to changes (diff view in bc - whith adjustable pre and post code parts) and to hide changed comments / whitespaces (triv. button in bc - with selectable: whitespace/ comments / case changes,....)
