I regularly type "fixup! " and paste a copied hash into the commit window message box.

Since my hand is already on the mouse to click into the text box and paste the hash, it could easily click a "fixup!" button above the text box (to the right of the "Commit Message:" label) just before that and save the typing.

The Log window with the Repositories view and Branches view is a fantastic new feature.  With the Commits view now having the Working Tree and we can commit from the Log window, please add the Commit Message view to the Log window too.  I miss having the ability to pre-type commit message info as I make changes and/or stage files.

When I open Log by double-clicking on a commit in the Journal, this commit appears under Commits node in the Branches panel. Thus I can use it as a root in the commits tree. I want to be able to conveniently add any commit from the log to this list in Commits node. So that I can use any commit as a root in the commit tree.

This would be very helpful in the following scenario. I am digging down the history, find relevant commit, and then make it the root of the tree to simplify further research.

The new Log window Repo and Branches feature is fantastic.  One thing on the Repos view that I'm missing from the Working Tree window is allow to opening multiple repos

With the new Log window having the Repo and Branches views, and currently limited to "opening" only one repo at a time, is there a need to "Open Repository" on it?

I like how when cloning a repository SmartGit populates the clone url from the clipboard. What would also be nice would be if there was a --clone command line option that would launch the clone dialog using the current directory as the default location in which to create the cloned repository.

This would be especially useful as on Linux SmartGit doesn't seem to have any file manager integration so currently the only way to clone in SmartGit is to open SmartGit, launch the clone dialog, then use the folder explorer to choose where to put the cloned repo. Currently it's quicker and easier to clone using the git cli than to use SmartGit.

The new Perl language syntax is not properly interpreted in SmartGit when showing diffs.

The wrong syntax colouring starts after the defined-or operator (//) introduced in Perl 5.10:

my $review = $model->test // !1;

This is equivalent to C logic:

Review *review = test() ?: nil;

SmartGit interprets it as a comment and colours everything after the '//' with green colour.

Currently, if you double-click on a remote branch in the Log view, you get something like the following:

What I (almost?) always want to do is to checkout the corresponding local branch, but at that commit; in other words, I want to checkout the local branch and then pull. It would be great if there were a "Pull after checkout" checkbox on the dialog, to make this a single action to get where I want. (Bonus points if the checkbox's state was preserved between actions, although I'm not sure of the details of how this would work.)

When our developers starts a new software project, and hence have to configure Git-Flow, they have to manually enter the branch names, which tends to result in differences from one project to the next.

It would be really nice if SmartGit supported loading a conf file with the naming, or even better, allowed the Defaults to be changed, so that when configuring Git-Flow, the names would already be according to the company rules.

I regularly use the "File (expensive)" option and prefer that it was always on.  I would like SG to persist my selected options.

I looked for a "low level pref" for this but did not see one.
