Ability to slim down the files pane in review mode
Currently, there is no way to slim down the files panes behind a certain point. This lead that on 13" display, the pane is taking more around 1/3 of screen space.
I would love to slim it down to display only filenames and use the full width to increase the comparison windows.
List of files that was removed from branch, and option to include those files in search result
For example at some point you developed component and it was committed. Then something happened and it was removed (architecture changed, reworked code, etc.). It would be nice to still be able to search for those files or display them as separate list.
ReviewBoard support for pre-commit reviews
It would be great if ReviewBoard could be supported natively for pre-commit reviews.
It's possible to call RBTools via an external tool call but it doesn't work for SVN repositories because they aren't standard git-svn repositories and aren't supported by RBTools.
It would also be handy to have UI support for creating and updating ReviewBoard reviews.
Save/Load work area layouts
Now there are two built in layouts (Main and Review). I would like to be able to customize some of custom layouts and switch between them.
Repositories view: optionally hide closed repositories
To stay focussed on the current repository only.
Support signing commits with ssh keys
Given the recent slew of vulnerabilities in gpg (gpg.fail), al well as several years of recommendations by security experts (latacora, soatok), I'm currently phasing out gpg. In alternative to gpg, git also supports signing commits with SSH keys (gitlab, github).
It would be great if SmartGit could support SSH signatures.
Mark as favorites also Repositories' groups and submodules
Currently we mark a Repository as favorite
It would be handy to be able to mark also Repositories' Group and submodule inside parent Repository.
Open existing SmartGit instance from command line
We have some useful command-line arguments.
But smartgit.sh always creates new windows.
Can a new command-line parameter be added, to apply all parameters like --log and --open to an already opened SmartGit instance, if any?
If there are several SmartGits opened, modify any of them.
If there is no SmartGits opened, ignore the new parameter, open new SmartGit.
By the way, it would be great if --anchor-commit argument worked with --open flag too (not --log only), just focusing the commit specified.
Option to display whitespace
In the File Compare window, there is a useful option (under View > Settings > General : Show Whitespaces) that allows displaying a · (middle dot) for spaces and » for tabs, making it super easy to spot whitespace differences, e.g. when the wrong indentation is used.
It would be really nice to have the same functionality when viewing changes in the main SmartGit window as well.
As a bonus: make the setting in File Compare persistent. At the moment (version 25.1.102), it has to be set every time a new window is opened.
Many thanks !
