When collecting patches from several branches, an octopus-merge makes it clear that this particular merge-commit is meant to combine several branches (rather than merging or cherry-picking them one by one). 

Currently, SmartGit does not support this, although the Log does support displaying the result of an octopus merge.  We still need to merge via command line first.

One simple implementation is to check for conflicts first (whether literal or logical conflict), and disallow it if any conflicts exist.  i.e. restrict it to a clean merges only.

There is nothing more frustrating than having someone on your team screw up line endings. While obviously not a long-term solution to the problem, it would be nice if SmartGit could recognize a line ending error message from Git and provide an option to automatically fix the files in question.

Scenario:

• I have a repo, project.git, with several branches:
• • Branch1
  • Branch2
  • Branch3
• project.git is marked as favourite.
• Branch1 is checked out.
• Branch2/3/etc is also checked out using "git worktree add".
  • This is also added into SmartGit repositories, but not marked as favourite.
• project.git (Branch1) is currently opened in SmartGit. When a fetch (either manual or background) happens, I can see changes in both Branch1 and Branch2 from the [Branches] window. However, the [Repositories] window does not reflect the change for Branch2 worktree (no green or orange arrow). It will only update if I open that "repo", or if I mark it as favourite.

Request:

• Add an optional flag to:
  • After a fetch, scan if the repo contains worktrees.
  • If yes, are those worktrees added into the [Repositories] window?
  • If yes, refresh the worktrees.
    • All of this is local, so it shouldn't be expensive

Why?

• I don't want to burden the server by marking worktrees as favourite (excessive background fetch). The data is already fetched by the main repo anyway.

List them and show in which file they are created or overridden.

I can set accelerators/shortcuts for the stage/unstage hunk action for the diff windows, but I can't set one for the inline diff in in the "Main" and "Review" screens, forcing me to use the mouse for those actions.

There is no obvious way to get to https://smartgit.userecho.com/ directly from the app. It would be great to have a simple menu item in the Help menu to open this site.

When amending a previous commit, I usually want to add a small change. The topic (commit message) is usually the same. Still SmartGit presents me the commit message template, forcing me to close the commit dialog, copy the commit message from the journal view and retrigger the commit.

When clicking "amend" the commit dialog should replace the commit message in the dialog by the message of the last commit.

From the Commit dialog, if I want to review the changes from one final time, I cannot open them all at once but have to open them one by one. In the main and log window I can select multiple files and press F4 to open them all.

When using large repos, I sometimes wish to narrow the list of files displayed for a selected commit.

Be able to change the default intervalls in the preferences dialog. At least the 2 options smartgit.repositories.background.poll.delay and smartgit.repositories.background.fetch.delay (see https://www.syntevo.com/doc/display/SG/System+Properties#SystemProperties-Backgroundoperations)
