Clone: first clone just the HEAD and then fetch the other commits in background
Would be nice to have a option to clone a new repository 'light' (git clone --depth=1).
Even better an additional option 'fast start' after depth=1 clone, smartgit can fill up the history slowly in the background, while people can work on the code already
Allow to remember or configure selected option during Git-Flow finish
It would be very useful to configure default option for feature finishing with git flow.
Configuration may implicit (e.g. in configuration file) or explicit (e.g. remember the last option used.
Command line parameter to just temporarily opening a git repo
Quite often, I just want to view a git repo quickly and without saving it to the list of the repos in smartgit. It will be a lot efficient for my workflow to be able to just start smartgit from the command line and start browsing the git repo (and then forget about the repo).
Journal: GUI option to increase display of commits per category (ahead, behind, common) [SG-10230]
Note that this can already be done using system properties: https://www.syntevo.com/doc/display/SG/System+Properties#SystemProperties-Journal
Save open repositories without closing the application
In Ubuntu it is necessary to close the application so that the open repositories are kept in the sidebar
Handle invalid special characters for Windows
If you pull from a repo containing a file such as Invalid<"file">.xml then SmartGit on Windows throws error messages about not being able to stash, merge, etc. The only route forward issuing gitbash to resolve before you can resume using SmartGit.
Custom ordering of groups and repositories
Alphabetical ordering doesn't really scale well when you work with a lot of repositories. I'd like to be able to custom order (either via drag-and-drop or arrow buttons) my groups and repositories so I can shift them around as priorities change without needing to put them in "A Most Important Group!"
Journal: option to hide common commits [SG-10558]
If i had one commit unpushed i wanted to see it down below in the outgoing section. The problem here is that there is no option here to filter only the unpushed items.
Diff tool should insert code difference, for example, when SHIFT key is pressed
Right now when you compare changes in two panel diff tool, or three panel diff tool you can got case when diff tool allows you only to replace code. It can happen when in two branches the same line of code has been changed and you are trying to merge these files.
It would be great to have possibility to force diff tool to insert diff line if SHIFT key is pressed.
