Say which submodule is on a detached head state
I had selected all files o my working tree and I hit the commit button. Then Smartgit said this:
But I have no idea which one is the submodule which is on a detached head state.
Smartgit could at least inform from where it is coming from.
Automatically save and apply stash when rebasing
It would be nice if SmartGit would automatically stash possible files in the working tree when you start to modify, split or manually rebase some commits, and then apply it back after git rebase finishes. Similar to how it does on a checkout when it detects possible conflicts.
Show the files to be staged, similar to the Commit window
This way, it's way easier to notice that staged files are automatically stashed for selective stashing, and you can also double click each file to view its content beforehand. So something along the lines of:
Open a version of a file from a commit without saving it first
When viewing a commit, it would be nice to be able to either:
a) right click on the file in the Files tab and select "View Before" or "View Before", or
b) select "View" from the appropriate Changes window down the bottom of the screen
and it would save the file to the %TEMP% folder and open my editor for it.
At the moment my options are either copy the text from the Changes window and paste to my editor (but since the new unsaved file doesn't have an extension, it doesn't get syntax highlighting), or save the file somewhere and then open it in my editor.
I just want to view the file - not revert it, and I don't care where it gets saved.
External tools should work in the (standalone) File Compare window
In the File Compare window, external tools and their shortcuts should work.
${filePath} variable should be filled for them the same way SmartGit does it in other windows.
GitLab: option to open merge request in browser
An option to open a merge request in gitlab (browser) would be very useful (to reply to comments, etc.)
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.
