Slow/sluggish/choppy scrolling of text lists (like Files, Log, Commits, etc)
On SmartGit for Mac OS X, the scrolling of the lists is slow and choppy. These lists are things like Files window, or Log window, or Commits list.
Other apps like SourceTree (or virtually all other Mac apps) will scroll these lists much faster and smoother.
Also need a way to customize the font size in these lists.
Linux: Improve proxy handling
While the proxy settings (env vars http_proxy, .. in /etc/environment ) are used by git and communication with Bitbucket-Server, they are not recognized by SmartGit's "Check for New Version...". The option "Use following proxy..." could be used to "Check for New Version..." but not for accessing Bitbucket on an internal network, because there isn't a "no_proxy" option in SmartGit.
Hide HEAD/Index differences when I'm viewing Index/Working Tree
I can switch the Index Editor to show only two files. Index/Working Tree, or HEAD/Working Tree. But either view I choose, it always lists changes between all three versions: HEAD/Index/Working Tree:
When editing the index I'm usually interessted in changes between Working Tree / Index. So I open the Index/Working Tree view. But I still get changes between HEAD/Index. Those changes distract me:
There's only one char changed. But I still get a second "changed" line.
Add sparse changes view
This is similar to https://smartgit.userecho.com/topics/159-changes-view-optionally-show-as-unified-diff/ as that unchanged lines are hidden. But is different from it because I still want two panes listing both files.
Sometimes there are small changes at the beginning and at the end of a big source file (add a method, add a import). Current changes view forces me to search for those tiny (they are really tiny for big files) side markers indicating a change. This is counterproductive if I want to get a quick impression on what has changed.
Improve default local branch name on remote branch checkout
When I checkout `master` from my `fork` remote, the default local branch name is `master-2`, which isn't very helpful in identifying it. `master-fork` would be better.
Push (SVN): autostash dirty index/working tree [SG-9731]
I’m trying to use SmartGit to work with remote SVN repository. Everything works fine except the fact that the SmartGit can’t perform “push to remote” if working index is not clean. I have to perform “Save Stash” -> “Push” -> “Apply Stash” as a workaround, which is pretty annoying to perform manually and seems like extremely easy to automate (at least as a temporary bugfix). I’ve used Tortoise SVN before and it had an ability to commit+push not all modified files. I would be happy if it would be possible to do in SmartGit
Log: symbols for count of addition / changes / deletions
Some other GIT clients show a summary of changes/actions in the log list, which is sometimes very useful [1].
SmartGit shows this information once a commit is selected, but not in the list.
I suggest that this information is shown (as an option) also in the list itself, so that it's easier to find e.g. the last commit where files were deleted. If it's an expensive operation, that could be labeled behind the column name in the context menu, so that users are aware that this column might hurt performance.
