Please, stop making the `continue` rebase button forcing me to commit untracked files
For example, I just had went back on history where some directories were not on `.gitgnore`:
But now I just cannot continue rebasing because Smartgit `Continue` rebase button is making/keeps opening the `Commit` dialog.
Not so far ago, Smartgit would be smart and just ask whether I would like to commit the unstaged files, but now it just becomes an insane/senseless application, version: 20.1.1 #15128
The only for me to get out of this nonsenseless is to open the command line and directly run `git rebase --continue`
Allow Rebase Rebase Interactive before a merge commit
Every time I would like to smash some commit, remove or move it up and down, I have to use the command line with the command `git rebase -i --preserve-merges HEAD~n` because the SmartGit interface does not allow to rebase things before merge commits:
Worktrees: manage them automatically in Repositories view [SG-13538]
When opening a repository (or an worktree), SmartGit should detect all related worktrees and display them as separate "repositories" in the Repositories view. UI might be similar as for submodules.
File Compare: Force Text option
When I compare two text files that SmartGit detects as binary there is the option Force Text (top right above the file compare subpanel) in the main SmartGit window.
When I double click on the file I get the differences between the two files but there is no option to Force Text. Is it possible to add the Force Text action in the main File Compare window?
Log, Graph: allow sorting by author date as well as commit date
In the graph window, the option to 'Sort by Time' will use the commit date/time. It would handy to be able to specify the author date/time as well when comparing two branches to identify which commits are shared and which have not been merged.
Log, Files view - add option to show files non-recursively
The one and only feature that I switch to other Git Clients for (either Git Extensions or Git Fork, but I think others support this too), is the ability to click on an arbitrary commit in the log and browse the directory structure and files of the project at that point in time. Both the above-mentioned Git clients have a "file tree" view which does this. SmartGit is very close in that in the 'files' view, I can click on icons 1 and 2 in the screenshot below. However, the listing is also showing files in subdirectories. Ie. When I click on 3, I don't want to see the files in the red box.
Grouping of repositories to work with aggregated log graph (checkout same branches, cherry pick to same branches in different repos)
I am working with a few repositories and usually have same branches and track same versions on them. It would be easier for me when I am able to select the repos into some kind of group and was able to checkout same branch for the group. Also the group provides view of a cumulative log graph of the branch, a cherry pick action for different repos' commits which end up each in own branch without switching repositories and cherry picking in each repository.
Allow manually entered git commands for experienced users.
It would be nice if there was a bash prompt in SmartGit so we could enter quick commands for more experienced users.
