Support alternative default brach for gerrit
Please add support to change default Gerrit branch. Current default in SmartGit is `master` which is used when branch has no tracking target, but that may lead to issues when default branch on Gerrit side is named differently, eg.: `main`.
It becomes tedious when I want to have several temporary branches with different history for the default branch (all require me to setup the tracked target branch).
Syntax highlighting: Support for R Language
Could you please add R language to the syntax highlighting? That would be fantastic. Thanks.
The "Commit & Push" button on the "Commit" window should be enabled for local-only branches
If you commit to a local-only branch, the "Commit & Push" button is disabled. Should be enabled; if clicked, bring up the "Do you wan to configure tracking"? dialog.
Fix file tab "relative directory" order on folders with name containing hyphen
In my project, I have folders named "consumer" and "consumer-web".
In File tab, when I order by "relative directory", the result is not what is expected.
The list shows:
1/ files directly in "consumer" folder
2/ files in "consumer-web" folder
3/ files in sub-folders under "consumer" folder
What I would like to see :
1/ files directly in "consumer" folder2/ files in sub-folders under "consumer" folder
3/ files in "consumer-web" folder

Ability to suppress "Error-prone config" warning
I've started receiving an error message saying my git config is "error-prone", after moving the .git folder to a non-standard location:
For the repository the .git-admin directory is not located below /Users/xxxxx/.git, but at /Volumes/xxxxx/.git instead. This indicates an error-prone configuration and will most likely result in confusion and strange behavior. You should re-clone the submodule from scratch.
I'd like to be able to suppress this warning - I moved the .git folder deliberately and as my least-bad choice.
Changes window should show most recently selected file, not topmost
When there are multiple files in the Files window, I may want to select a group of them using Shift + Up/Down or Ctrl + Click. This works fine; however, the Changes window does not show the most recently selected file, it shows the topmost selected file. So if I want to look at the files as I select them, I have to start from the bottom and go up. This is inconvenient. I should be able to select them in any order and see the most recently selected file in the Changes window. Thanks for the awesome tool!
Ubuntu: open in smartgit from nautilus background context (like in Windows ver.)
In Ubuntu/nautilus it would be nice to have "Open in SmartGit" when right-clicking on the background (like in the Windows ver.).
Quick checkout with a search (like in Intellij IDEA)
Intellij IDEA has a very convenient feature, that allows to open dialog with a list of branches and the user is able to search through this list and do a checkout without the necessity to use the mouse.
Compact text branch display
In several places, there is a text listing of branches that the current commit is on. Problem: local branches and tracked branches are separately listed, which makes the list long and difficult to understand.
Suggestion: list the tracking and tracked branches together. So, instead of:
> master, origin/master
have something like:
> [origin/]master
Add support for custom app URLs
It would be nice if you could share a link to a commit to someone, and have it get opened in SmartGit on click.
For example, Unibox does something similar using links like: `unibox://message/iulian@<redacted>.com/12976154771018448553-1784412223445418743`.
Maybe something like `smartgit://commit/git@gitlab.com:Group/Subgroup/Project.git/5e6cec9e`, and have SmartGit search the other person's repositories in order to find a repo with the same remote as in the URL.
