Allow '-' as branch grouping character in addition to '/'

ljantzen 9 years ago updated by Clément Moyroud 1 year ago 7

We have standardized on branch names on the format <username>-<ticket-id>-<description>. Allowing '-' (or any other character) as the grouping character would make grouping more flexible. It also happens that the same ticket has more than one branch, so multi-level grouping would be nice. Sort of like an expanding directory structure..

Support Mercurial 3.8

Eman 9 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 8 years ago 7

I always use the newest version of Mercurial and sadly SmartGit/Hg doesn't support Mercurial 3.8


is there a reason why there has to be a supported version? it should be like git where it doesn't really care what version you have installed

Compare: show long left and right line above each other

Thomas Singer 9 years ago updated by Marc Strapetz 8 years ago 1

Currently, the compare shows a left and a right pane so only up to the half of the screen width is used. Often to less for seeing the full line without scrolling horizontally.


Suggestion: (optionally) show a 2-line view below both, the left and right panes, that show the left focused line above the right focused line. That way you have a longer display and easier can spot differences.

Improve usability under Windows Subsystem for Linux with GUI (WSLg)

Marc Strapetz 3 years ago updated by Benny Neugebauer 1 year ago 3

WSLg can be used to run SmartGit in Linux environment while using Windows as main development OS.

We have tried it briefly and SmartGit seems to mostly work file in WSLg.

Out findings are summarized here:

https://docs.syntevo.com/SmartGit/HowTos/Running-on-WSLg.html

There are a few nuisances, such as SmartGit updates failing, which can be improved.

The current plan is to spend a couple days in the next couple months to try to fix nuisances.

However, if this proves to be complicated, we'll get back to more popular feature requests, unless this topic gains more votes.

If you're interested in using WSLg with SmartGit, please describe your use cases and any problems you encountered.

Note: this topic is about running SmartGit from within WSLg. If you want to access repositories on WSL from Windows, vote for topic 1409.

Checkout: handle "Nested Root" for submodule Deletion

Mario123 3 years ago updated by Paul Martinsen 2 years ago 1

Upon switching branches in a repository that contains submodules where the other branch does not contain this submodule anymore, the folder in the repository shows the state "Nested Root" . 

This gets really annoying since one has to manually navigate to that folder and delete it.

In this use case it would be helpful and to others less confusing to add the following:

* A dialog which asks what to do with that folder

  * Display an explanation of what happened. This is not an obvious and easy case for people.

  * The recommendation would offer deletion of this folder if it does not contain uncommitted and unpushed changes in that submodule (that can be determined opening a git shell in the folder and see what `git status` returns.  

  * If it does contain uncommitted commits that haven't been pushed, either abort changing branches or display this information to the user.

Add support for GIT Rerere

Nicolas Deveaud 4 years ago 0

Hi,

I use a lot GIT Rerere. It's really powerful when you have to deal with lots of conflicts (this depends on your GIT usage of course).

One of the most complicated point with this tool (in my opinion) is that you have very little visibility on available recorded resolutions.

That's why I think it would be very helpful in a GIT GUI like Smartgit to be able to see a list of recorded resolutions. Or maybe to highlight the fact that a conflict was auto-solved by GIT Rerere when it is the case.

An other hard part with GIT Rerere is to deal with wrong conflict resolutions. Once you recorded a wrong conflict resolution, it is hard to know how to revert this using the forget command.

I think a GUI tool showing where Rerere did its magic and allowing to undo this magic and forget the matching resolution would be just the perfect tool to make Rerere easy to use.

I'm sure there's other great things to do about GIT Rerere in a GUI, but there's so many interesting subjects....


I hope you'll have the opportunity to add this to Smartgit one day :) 


Thanks again for your great work

Branches list filtering

Riki Fridrich 5 years ago updated by Duoc Dam 2 years ago 7

We have hundreds of branches in our project. They are created automatically for every issue and bug. When I need to find and clone specific branch, it is really hard to find them in the long list. There is search, but that is not very useful, because it only jumps to the first matching branch name. It would be really helpful to be able to filter the branches, to type part of the name and the view would only display matching branches.

See which branch we're committing/committing and pushing

maxgalbu 5 years ago 0

Similar to Sourcetree, in the commit dialog I'd like to see which branch I'm committing and pushing to, to avoid committing to the wrong branch.
