"Branch Coloring" should gray out the text as well

Sync 8 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 8 years ago 2

In "Branch Coloring" mode, the log line of the branch is in bold black, while other branches are in soft gray.  To make it easier for the eye to scan through, the commit text of the other branches should be grayed as well.


However, grayed text is already taken up by merge-commits, so the change of behavior may be confusing for existing users.  But in my opinion, graying out a merge-commit doesn't mean much, and I would rather have the grayed behavior taken up by this RFE.

Clone: first clone just the HEAD and then fetch the other commits in background

xuedi beijing 8 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 6 years ago 3

Would be nice to have a option to clone a new repository 'light' (git clone --depth=1).

Even better an additional option 'fast start' after depth=1 clone, smartgit can fill up the history slowly in the background, while people can work on the code already

Allow to remember or configure selected option during Git-Flow finish

George Bessonov 8 years ago updated by hellbrick 8 years ago 1

It would be very useful to configure default option for feature finishing with git flow.

Configuration may implicit (e.g. in configuration file) or explicit (e.g. remember the last option used.

Command line parameter to just temporarily opening a git repo

Xiangfei Jia 8 years ago updated by Marc Strapetz 8 years ago 0

Quite often, I just want to view a git repo quickly and without saving it to the list of the repos in smartgit. It will be a lot efficient for my workflow to be able to just start smartgit from the command line and start browsing the git repo (and then forget about the repo).

Save open repositories without closing the application

In Ubuntu it is necessary to close the application so that the open repositories are kept in the sidebar

Handle invalid special characters for Windows

cmprescott 8 years ago updated by Marc Strapetz 8 years ago 1

If you pull from a repo containing a file such as Invalid<"file">.xml then SmartGit on Windows throws error messages about not being able to stash, merge, etc. The only route forward issuing gitbash to resolve before you can resume using SmartGit.

Custom ordering of groups and repositories

Daniel Filipe 8 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 8 years ago 1

Alphabetical ordering doesn't really scale well when you work with a lot of repositories. I'd like to be able to custom order (either via drag-and-drop or arrow buttons) my groups and repositories so I can shift them around as priorities change without needing to put them in "A Most Important Group!"

Journal: option to hide common commits [SG-10558]

Ionut Morariu 8 years ago updated by Marc Strapetz 8 years ago 14

If i had one commit unpushed i wanted to see it down below in the outgoing section. The problem here is that there is no option here to filter only the unpushed items.
