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:

vertical-text, adjustments after running all tests on latest browser

This would be very useful, cause when you have much lines it's hard to understand what line stand for what branch.

If hovering is hard to implement, having a legend stating which color refers to which branch would be a good substitute.

When there are multiple projects that share common code repositories, but also have unique component repositories, it would be helpful to create a project Group with an alias (single or multiple) to a shared repository. The logical grouping of the repositories under a given project would simply mass-pulls and status checks, but keep a single cloned instance of any shared repositories.

The Windows installer creates a start menu entry for the x86 wrapper application, but not for the x64 one. This is inconvenient when only a 64-bit JRE is installed. Please create entries for both versions.

Current builds show (reverted from commit....) at end of the commit message

i want an option to show that commit is reverted in 1st line as:

Revert: <reverted commit message>

this was present in older builds.... how to reactivate it ?

Currently the grid column "Last changed on" simply show the file datestamp from filesystem when it was last changed. I think it would be more logical to show the timestamp for last commit

The basic idea is to provide an option to force smartgit to a single instance. The basic use case behind this idea is to open git folders with smartgit via context menu out of a file manager (e.g. with ubuntu nautilus file manager right click on git folder and open with smartgit). Over this way the file manager passes the folder path to smartgit and I don't need to add the repository manually in smartgit.

Currently smartgit opens foreach folder that I open over this way an new instance - that's confusing.

Git allows to ignore files only in local repository

Basically add the ability to accomplish the following command through the GUI:

git update-index --assume-unchanged -- file1 file2

The opposite command should be also available:

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged [<file> ...]

I'd like to suggest that SmartGit retains the position (and also the size) of a column, after it has been hidden, when it is selected again.

E.g. if I hide the 'relative path column' positioned after the name field and then show it again, it is added at the end of the columns. It would be more useful if it would stay where I put it. That way it would be easy to quickly hide columns that are not useful for the current task and are just taking space, and enable them later when they become useful again.
