open terminal with git executable dir prepended to PATH
Would be nice to be able to open a terminal window with
smartgit's git (executable) dir added to path. On systems like windows
where i use the git packaged with smartgit one has to do this manually. And on system with other git installed would be possible conflict without (since might be different git version)
could possibly be alternatively done if

create bare repo (option)
Optionally create new repo as bare
Useful especially when creating "backup" repo on removable medium like usb drive for
sensitive data. Possibly with new checkbox "bare repo" in the "add or create repository" dialog, which in turn adds "--bare" option to the "git init" command.

remove restriction: "rebase interactive, squash commits, message must be equal" or add "fixup"
If I want to combine two commits, I don't expect having to do extra steps (as in: Having to equal out the commit messages)
Interestingly the command line git doesn't have this limitation. I can change `pick` to `fixup` (or `f`) and it'll delete the commit and move the changes into the commit above.

GitHub Comment Bubbles for All Commits with Comments
Currently, comment bubbles are limited to PRs, yet many valuable discussions also occur directly on individual commits. Access to these comments within SmartGit would provide a more holistic view of the dialogues around code changes and project evolution.
Therefore, my feature request is the extension of the GitHub comment bubbles to all commits that have comments.

Log, Files: reveal file directory context menu item
I really want the ability to right click the file in Files window and choose something like "Reveal file directory" in the context menu.
Alternatively have another option in the Files toolbar, something like "Directory follows selected file" to have it revealed automatically.
SmartGit version: 4.3.1 #9004, installed: #19259

Option to configure what to fetch instead of all tags & branches
Currently the way fetching works is that all tags & branches are fetched.
This is rather annoying, as it can bloat up the local repo, sometimes increasing the size substantially.
I end up having to use the terminal for fetches instead.
I'd like a way to configure which branches are being fetched, and if tags are included. I usually just fetch the `master` branch along with all tags.

Search for commit
Hi Guys,
About a year ago, when I used a filter to find a particular commit, after dropping the filter to see all commits my selection was remaining on the commit that I found and selected. After some of the releases, this functionality was dropped. Now, if I found a commit in the filtered content and want to drop the filter, my selection jumps to the top. I need to remember my commit's date and look in the three for it manually again.
Was this change done intentionally? Is it possible to get that "sticky selection" functionality back?
Best regards,
Edgar

Refresh: only refresh repositories of the activated window (when switching back to SmartGit)
With Preferences option "Refresh file system also while SmartGit is in background" deselected, SmartGit currently refreshes all windows when switching back from another application.
The request is to only refresh the activated window.

Add option to exclude "Follow First Parent" when searching
It is very frustrating when I couldn't find my commit in the graph search bar simply because I had "Follow First Parent" turned on.
Implementing it as a opt-in advanced option would be ok too, although I don't see why the search have to filter the non-first-parents out. The commit is basically in the graph, just collapsed.

Customize Output View in SmartGit: Enhanced Error and Warning Highlighting
Enhancing the output view in SmartGit to enable users to distinctly and noticeably highlight specific errors and warnings, such as by using different colors (e.g., red for errors and yellow for warnings), would provide significant benefits. This improvement would be particularly helpful for those utilizing self-written tools and custom hooks.
