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.
Scroll long output into view
When command is outputting a lot of lines, scroll the last (current) line in the Output Window into view.
When command has finished, scroll the Output Window back to the top.
Allow passwords to be stored in OS (keychain, hello) instead of encrypted file
Less typing, more secure passwords, and generally a better approach?
Offer complete workflow for worktrees
I am using AI agents more than in the past to do several things in parallel. For that, the worktree feature is quite useful, and SmartGit already has the menu items in the File menu to create/remove/prune worktrees.
But for me this does not assemble to a nice and easy workflow. Here is what I would like to be able to do from the UI:
- Add a new worktree from a remote branch, ideally from the context menu of that remote branch.
- Currently I have to check the branch first out to a local branch, changing the branch in an existing worktree, to be able to do "Add worktree...", only to change the branch in my existing worktree back to the original branch.
- Our repository is using submodules - it would be great if "Add worktree..." could be configured to automatically initialize the submodules.
- Ideally I would be able to configure "Add worktree" to not not open automatically a new window like it does now, instead just move over to the other worktree.
- Remove an existing worktree by right-clicking on it from the context menu on the worktree repo (again without having to have to load the repo in advance).
- Currently, I manually delete the tree and then use "Prune..." which is clumsy because I have to first find the folder in the file explorer.
- "Remove worktree..." does not work for me because it does not handle submodules - it would be great if the UI function could remove (clean) submodules, and then remove the worktree.
- For "Remove..." I also don't need to load the repo - so "Remove worktree..." could be always available, but fail if the repo is not a worktree?
Standard window : right click actions
Though I'm using Standard Window since its introduction, I was using it only for my free time projects. I'm using it for professional repo since just a few month.
And... I'm missing 2 right click options :
- on a branch, "fast-forward merge" : allow to update a local branch with just one click, without the need to do a checkout, pull, then go back to the previous branch
- in the history, "reset..." and "reset advanced..." : there is the ability to add a "reset" icon in the toolbar, but I'm very used to having the action in the contextual menu
Can both of those be added ?
Set execution bit on Windows
In previous versions, SmartGit allowed setting the x-bit (execution bit in chmod) via GUI. E.g. in a right-click menu on *.sh files. This menu entry on Windows seems to be missing since a few versions or the condition to display the menu entry is just sporadically true.
I remember a "Set execution bit" command in the context menu.
Is this option dependent on the file type / extension?
That's my current context menu:

Add toolbar buttons for individual Git-Flow actions. Aiming at that little v is a bit annoying.
Since the default action is the wrong about 50% of the time (start new feature).
