Unlike ExamDiff there seems to be no possibility to mark files for comparison from the context menu of windows explorer. That would be a great extension.

Use case:

Select one file in windows explorer, use right click to open the context menu and then click on "Add to Comparison".

After that add another file to comparison using the context menu and select "Compare against xyz.ztx"

When doing support on a product, you're quite often confront to questions like "in which version does this fix/enhancement is integrated ?". When you got he sha, the "git tag --contains <sha>" command gives a good answer.

I added this as a new tool, but I think this could be useful to others, so maybe integrate this directly in Smartgit ?

When merging a pull request in GitHub, both the PR creator and the committer appears in the new commit ("By" = PR creator, and "committed by" = the one that merged the PR)

It happens that I need to commit something that was made by another developer, so I would love to be able to do exactly the same : set the "By" to the real author of the code, and my name only appearing as the committer.

Also, when working in pair, it would be nice to be able to add the other developer as author...

Would be perfect to be able to pick the name/email from the log (people that did already commit).

May the "Co-Authored-By" be useful for this ?

E.g. to have all commits from a specific user highlighted.

When both windows are open, it's hard to distinguish one from the other, f.e. when switching between them by Alt+Tab:

It would be convenient if, f.e., one of windows icons were painted with some color:

Let's say that you have a bunch of old feature branches that you want out of the way but you don't want to delete them either.

So you go one by one renaming 'feature-123' to 'old/feature-123' ... tedious.

It would be nice to be able to do that for multiple branches by adding a prefix to all of them at once or perhaps something more sophisticated with pattern matching & substitution like this SO discussion https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45118089/git-rename-multiple-branches

Hi,

I would like to see a view that would list all PR's from all repositories that SmartGit knows of, very useful when your working in projects with many repos and many PR's to review

When groups are collapsed, there is no easy way to find an open repository (specially if one is using nested groups; see https://smartgit.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/291-highlight-group-name-of-opened-repository, too).

It would be great to have either (or all :-)) of:

* A function (menu entry, toolbar button, keyboard shortcut) to jump to the next open repository (invoking the action multiple times would cycle through open repositories)

* A list of open repositories in the window-menu

* Integration into "Find Object", e.g. either list open repos first or use a special command like "open" to list open repositories

git status lists "modified" files separate from "untracked", and does this for a reason.

SmartGit seems to add these two counts to one "changed" count.

When I committed all my modified files, I often have some untracked files (i have good reasons not to ignore or stash them), which always makes me think: did I forgot to commit something or are they just the untracked? and I need to check the files list.

If SmartGit would count them separate as git status does, that would save the hassle.

When working with several active release we usually develop the feature in the oldest active release and the merge things upwards to newer versions. 

For this usecase we need an option to ignore the whole merge in newer releases if it's not needed in here. Git provides this via `git merge --ours `
