Newly released Git LFS 2.0.0 comme with centralized "File locking".

• For now it is only supported by Github.com, but I expect Gitlab and Bitbucket to follow sooner or latter.
• It is only working with a centralized repository, that is when sharing a repository in a Github Organization, or when using a dedicated "on premise" server (using Gitlab there).

1. It would be great to add support for the new "git lfs lock", "git lfs unlock" and "git lfs locks" commands.
2. This would require at least a new status icon (Lock) but probably two (Lock by other), a row with the name of the user locking the file,

Note that in my experience, the command line is currently a bit confusing (HTTPS seems to work reliably only when basic authentication got through an explicit https://username@gitlhub.com URL).

There is a great feature in Log which gives changes between two commits.

But Details tab does not work at this mode.

Could you, please, put details of every commit in a selected file, so all of the details can bee seen at once for the file?

Or even more advanced feature: show in Details a committer when a particular change is shown in Changes window. So once the change is shown one can see who made the change.

Well, I always use SmartGit except when I want to clone a repository from our bitbucket server. For that purpose I use SourceTree. The explorer window is quite handy when you have so many repositories.

this would be handy eg. to ignore local changes made in configuration files.

i know there is staging, assume-unchanged, git-ignore and so on, but these are too complex and svn's changelist (IMHO) just the right thing for that.

there is also an stackoverflow thread with more info:

Make subfolders or subgroups in interface to group and subgroup repos.

From the log, I am not able to determine whether a Tag is local-only, or has been pushed to Remote as well.

Suggestion:

Local-only tags = translucent background

Pushed tags = solid background (as it is today)

As a small aesthetic matter I'd suggest "local", over "Local Branches", would have the benefit of being visually consistent with the standard remote names "origin" and "upstream" that are often also displayed in the Branches window.

When solving conflicts allow to select from: right, left, right before left, left before right.

This is the only thing I really miss in SmartGit after TortoiseGit.

I find it useful to indicate at the start of the commit message which file has been changed, so that commit summaries, such as on the github home page, indicate which file a message refers to.

If a single flie is being committed, it would be useful to have a button or option to insert the file name of the file being committed at the beginning of the message box to save me typing it each time.

For example, my last commit message read:
