When I right-click on a staged/changed file, select LFS...Track... I can only specify individual file names or file name wildcards.

If I enter something like `seed-files/*.json`, the OK button is greyed out.

This is a limitation of SmartGit, git itself does allow folder names.

When doing a regular commit, there is a checkbox "Bypass commit hook".  

When re-organizing commits, i.e. dragging and/or squashing, there is no such option.

It would be great if SG would implement stripping of accented characters (ON/OFF based on config value) when pasting text into a NewBranch dialog.

In Java it is easy to use a method "org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils#stripAccents()".

It might be good also to group multiple "white" characters into one entity - like those "_-_".

It would be nice if the avatars would also work with a GitHub Enterprise server.

I have found the low-level property avatar.serverUrl to fetch the avatars. The GitHub avatar can be fetched via github.com/user_name.png?size=64.
Currently in avatar.serverUrl only the email in md5 is available. In my cause I would need only a part of the email (user_name@email.com) and not in md5.

But also using the GitHub User API should work which returns a JSON containing the avatar URL.

When I create a local branch (either directly or with the git flow feature) and then push it, it is not tracked and I have to add tracking separately. I would like an option to do this automatically (similar to "git push -u origin" on the command line)

I have tried checking the preference "Automatically set up tracking for new branches", but this doesn't help (what does this anyway? Couldn't find it in the online manual)

In vscode or any good editor, I can do partial string searches like "action comment" to yield results for "actions/comments.js".

It would be nice if the File Filter can do that too.  I believe currently we need to enable regex to do something like that.

My global user gitconfig had an error in it.  This caused SmartGit to lose all connections to my repos, however there was no informative reason given for why the repo could not be opened.

Request: More informative error messages so cause of issue can be remedied faster.

When I tried to open a repo, I got this message:

When I try to re-add the repo I got this message:

I had to use Github Desktop (!!!) to get an informative error message:

Once I fixed the .gitconfig error the repo correctly connected in SmartGit.

This problem took 15 mins to resolve instead of 1 min had the issue been described in more detail (or a link to error log files provided).

Please allow users to merge a branch and push in one menu click.

Now it's like this:

- checkout the destination branch

- right click on the branch you want to merge

- click on "merge..."

- wait for merge to succeed or fail

- click push

I'd like to be like this:

- checkout the destination branch

- right click on the branch you want to merge

- click on "merge and push..." *

*push should be done automatically when there are no conflicts

I have a lot of repos in group hierarchies in SmartGit, and sometimes I am editing a file (outside SmartGit) but I am not sure where this repo is located in SmartGit.

I would like to have some search functionality to locate a filename to find the repo it exists in (can be multiple off course).
