Add Open in GitHub to context menus
I would like to see "Open in GitHub" in the context menu for just about everything: repositories, folders, files, remotes, branches, tags, and commits.

Align chunks in compact change display
Here's a random commit from Unreal Engine as an example why this would be useful:
You can see how it's somewhat clunky to read, it gets even worse with larger differences.
Much easier when it's aligned!

Commit window: show current user
I often switch between work and private PC and on each between work and private repositories. It therefore happens that I sometimes accidentally commit with my private email address to a company repository or vise versa.
It would be nice to see the current user (name and email) you commit with in the commit dialog to avoid such situations.

Output window: more flexible text selection
Instead of whole line selecting, can we select a portion of a line, so that we can easily copy, say, a URL or git command? Thanks! :)

Switching perspectives should also use perspective-specific table columns and toolbars
A panel might have different size in different perspectives. But currently widths of columns in a panel are the same in all perspectives. Which does not make much sense. E.g. I want to have sufficiently wider "Files" panel in "Review" perspective. But if column widths are the same, it is not that convenient.
Please make column width independent for different perspectives.

New commit & squash command
From time to time I find that one of my modifications would better fit in an unpushed commit that is not the last one. For example I've git commit A, B, C, I have modifications in my working tree, and I find that one hunk should fit in commit B.
In such situation, I :
* commit the concerned hunks
* in the commit dialog select the commit B message
* commit
* in the log view, launch an interactive rebase
* click on the "auto squash" button
* validate
Having in the commit dialog the option to directly squash staged hunks in a defined commit would be fine !
So in this example, stage the hunks, open the commit dialog, select the squash option, selection commit B, validate.

Branches view: have one tree level for exactly one path-segment
Currently branches and tags are combined if they differ by the last part (after the last '/') only. Instead it would be better to group them on multiple levels, for each path segment.

New Journal and Log: add "Full Name" width limit for Log (via low-level properties)
I have team mates with very long names, and I wish to use "Show Full Author" in the Log Window because I have team mates with similar initials. The super long names are taking up too much width.
Please add property to limit the number of characters in the name field, after which an ellipsis will be used to truncate the name.

Maintain state of Stash reveal arrow in Branches pane
I like to see the list of stashes awaiting my attention, so I always keep the "reveal" triangle open on the "Stash" list in the "Branches" pane. However, SmartGit keeps closing it for me.
- If I close and reopen the application, the list always reappears closed.
- If I delete the last stash (the "Stash" list disappears, which is fine), and then add a new Stash, the list again reappears closed
It would be nice if SmartGit remembered my preference and kept the Stash list at its previous state.
