Currently, when not using a Commercial license, the Standard view is greyed out and cannot be selected on both onboarding Style selection and later selection in Preferences.

However, there is no message indicating that this is unavailable due to not having Commercial license. This may be disturbing to new users, especially as in the onboarding process, it's written "Recommended for new users" just below the Standard view description!

The context menu for repositories includes options to "Open In" explorer, git-shell, terminal, and a few more. I'd love to be able to configure that list for my preferred tools, like

- Open in Windows Terminal (my settings don't match what I get when I pick "Open in terminal" or "Open in Powershell"),

- Open in VS Code

- Open in TotalCommander

I  see several other feature requests with specific new menu items but it's pretty long as it is - making it configurable would simplify the menu and make it more flexible for everyone.

Our automation server commits a nightly build with a commit message "Nightly Build...". It would be nice to exclude these commits from the graph view using a filter either in the UI or git config file.

Currently the standard window supports everything needed to work with feature branches using git flow.

What about the other types of branches?

Personally, I am only missing "Start release" and "Finish release", but others might need hotfixes or support branches as well.

Having to switch to the log window to create a release feels wrong ;-)

Since most people will (hopefully) create releases far less frequently than features, I think it would suffice to put those commands into the "Branch" drop down menu - maybe even under a sub-menu "Git Flow".

It would be nice to have the ability to add a personal note, tag, flag, etc. to some repository or a whole group (e.g. mark repository with a "<red flag>", as with some E-Mail clients)

Could get 90% of the way there by supporting a hotkey for "Amend Last Commit", "Commit" and "Commit & Push". The others are a bonus.

During  pulling the root repository, pull its submodules too, with their default pull settings.
Maybe, add checkbox "Pull all submodules with their default pull settings"

as described here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6270193/how-can-i-have-multiple-working-directories-with-git/30185564#30185564 git can create separate directories off the same .git folder.

when trying to add one of those directories to smartgit,  you get the message:
---------------------------
Add or Create Repository
---------------------------
Should 'Revit' be initialized as a new Git repository?
---------------------------
The specified directory does not appear to be a valid Git repository.
---------------------------
[[&Initialize]] [Cancel]
---------------------------

likely because it does not recognize the .git FILE.

When 2 commits are selected, we can compare files inside them by content.

But it's not clear which commit is on the left side of Changes window and which is on the right .

Now:
