For me, as a programmer, a "change" means a modification of a few related lines in code.

That is, if I have two files, aaa.py and bbb.py and I modify lines 10, 15, and 20 in aaa.py and lines 100, 200, and 300 in bbb.py, this means I made 6 changes in 2 files. (I believe this implies that the command git add --patch would be used 6 times in total.)

However, the "virtual nodes" in the Commits section of the Log window says 2 changes, which suggests that only two changes have been made. This is quite confusing. Please, change its wording either to 2 changed files or 2 files changed (don't know which one is better, I'm not a native speaker).

Thank you,

Peter

Nearly every developer is in a situation where they have api tokens, secrets, or other specific local configuration that they change on their box but don't want to commit them or push them.

It would be pretty amazing if SmartGit supported a feature where you could set specific line modifications in a file to be ignored and/or excluded during a commit. 

Currently when a commit doesn't exist within a submodule, but a parent project is trying to point to it, "Could not determine submodule commit" is displayed. I would like the SHA ID also added to this message.

This will be useful for writing the ID on a lump of wood and repeatedly hitting a co-worker with.

Or most likely tracking down where and why this has appeared in the first place.

Using the Conflict solver I can browse to the base changes, but I don't see the commits affecting the changes in both trees. That would be a great benefit for solving conflicts.

Thus, adding the git blame window to the line with the change would be good, either as a single line below each file or as the standard blame window.

I am working on a big project and therefore, sometimes I have a lot of branches (sometimes their name is close to another) that are in repo and under review. Therefore, unless I checkout to a branch and look at the logs, I don't remember what this branch does/fix/improve.

The Message box helps to attach Jira link (or more information) to the branch. Therefore, I don't need to checkout anymore to get more info about the branch.

I would really like to be able to see the Semantic Version of the repo. I think that this could be set so that if there is a GitVersion.yml Config in the root of the repo then SmartGit could use it show the semantic version number of the branch.

Let's say you want to create 'feature-10-alt' branch off 'feature-10' by right-clicking the latter > Add branch...

It would be useful if the branch name autocompleted/suggested the name as I typed from the list of existing branches.

Would it be possible to consider integration of this one - at least in the longer run? For many people in the ML community the concept is superior to git LFS and similar approaches (comparison sheet on dvc's web page). 

I would like to have separate button on the Toolbar to directly Push to Gerrit. Right now I need to push on the arrow in Push button and select Push to Gerrit.

add possibility to open web links to Gerrit after Pushing to Gerrit
