Allow manually entered git commands for experienced users.
It would be nice if there was a bash prompt in SmartGit so we could enter quick commands for more experienced users.
Log: GUI option to enable/disable display of working tree (and related refreshing)
Currently there is Low-Level Property "log.workingTreeState". This should be converted to a GUI option.
Save vertical space on commit window
It does not seem much, but it is. All that free space on the right side being waisted should be better used.
Also autocomplete file names when editing the commit message
When you are committing something, you can press `Ctrl+Space` to open the autocomplete dialog with file names:
However, when you are editing a commit message, after committing it, the autocomplete feature of `Ctrl+Space` does not work anymore:

Integrate "Merge directly to" tool into SmartGit
There is a very useful tool "Merge directly to" present in SmartGit for years. I used to use it in some older versions, but then at some point it stopped working. I find it very convenient, since it allows me to preserve timestamps of my files on merge and thus avoid recompilation of the code (I work with C++ code base). Please recover the tool.
Option to open reviewed file in editor (on selected line)
It would be great to have an option to open reviewed file in selected text editor.
For example I find some typo like missing space:
I would like to open file in my text editor (in my case VS2019) on highlighted line.
Just for reference I'm attaching code for opening VS on selected line. It would mean support also VS Code and other major text editors (maybe some configuration and external commands?)
Branches view: ahead/behind commits should not include merge commits (pre-19.1 counting)
Since version 19.1 the way of the ahead/behind commit counting has been changed (it counts both current branch and merge branch commits). It makes us confuse about: how many commits had been reset on a branch or how many ahead commits of the current branch. So I think best would be to have an option/setting to switch back to pre-19.1 counting.
Add support for actions on Nested groups in Repositories View
I recently discovered that you can nest groups in the Repositories view. This is an incredibly useful feature for us (as we work with over 100 repositories at a time).
I have a structure similar to the following:
ApplicationSuite (Group) + Apps (Group) + Repo One + Repo Two + Libraries (Group) + Repo Three + Repo Four + DataSets (Group) + Set One (Group) + Repo Five + Repo Six + Set Two (Group) + Repo Seven + Repo Eight + Repo Nine
The following enhancements (wishlist items) would make our lives even easier:
- If you right-click on the parent group (e.g. ApplicationSuite) and choose "Open Repository", it should open all repositories in that group (Repo Nine) as well as all child groups (Apps, Libraries, etc) all the way down the tree. At the moment you need to expand all the groups you want to open the repositories for, select all the repos and the right click and choose "Open Repository"
- Add the ability to see changed files in the current group as well as any sub groups. This would probably need to be an optional mode (controlled with (for example) a button next to the file filter text box) so that the current behaviour of only showing repos in the current group is still available. The behaviour and available options for the "expanded/recursive" mode would be the same as for a single selected group (being able to commit, stage, etc.).
