Journal: show branch labels for all of the branches included in the current branch
E.g. if any branch heads to any commit included in the branch currently checked out, show it's label instead of showing just the branch currently checked out local and remote labels.
When starting a GitFlow Bug it should automatically stash/unstash instead of immediately failing
It is extremely common that one starts a feature or bug prior to actually starting the GitFlow process. This means there are often unstaged changes before starting a GitFlow bug/feature. When you do this, it will fail as there are uncommitted changes when it needs to change branch/make a branch/etc.
Unfortunately SmartGit isn't automatically stashing/unstashing in response to this. Which makes using GitFlwo very frustrating.
It should be no issue to stash all changes, perform the GitFlow process, then unstash.
Better detection for gerrit repositories
I use Gerrit with Smartgit for many repos but Gerrit was never detected by Smartgit despite claimed support.
Documentation says:
SmartGit will detect a remote as being connected to Gerrit, if:
.git/hooks/commit-msgexists; and- there is only one remote overall or it's the only remote connecting to port 29418 (default Gerrit SSH port)
The second condition is clearly too restrictive. Repos I work with use port 29420 so I'm doomed to never see them detected with current detection method.
Abililty to have GitFlow icon in the log window
For now the GitFlow button can't be added in the log window toolbar... I miss it lots of time when preparing / finishing a release !
Add "Expand/Collapse All" feature in Branches Tab
Add the ability to expand or collapse everything in the Branches Tab. This will recursively go through every branch and tag, and expand (or collapse) those that are grouped together.
Submodule options should be available in right-click menu
It seems to me that the submodule options found in the Remote > Submodule menu should also be available when right-clicking on the root of a specific submodule.
Possibility to show the "Log" from left to right
Reduced branch graph, more compact/less information as the current Log. See the images for example here:
https://git-scm.com/book/de/v1/Git-Branching-Einfaches-Branching-und-Merging
Make keyboard shortcuts available for all the different windows
If you set a keyboard shortcut for, say, "Next Change", in the "Index Editor" window will not work. The "Customize..." menu also points to this behavior by printing "Changes | Next Change" instead of simply "Next Change"
When creating a new Feature (Gitflow), show me what last used names were
The purpose is to easily maintain a counter, like :
Feature-2017-05_my_feature
Then, when I'll create a new feature, whether this one has been closed or not, I'll know I'll have to name it Feature-2017-06_my_new_feature.
The same goes for releases (I name them Release-[number]) and hotfixes (Hotfix-[release_number]-[hotfix_number]).
