"Creature Comfort" enhancements for Groups

Long time SmartGit user!


I've been using SmartGit exclusively for almost 10 years now, and over the course of time have accumulated access to almost 70 distinct source repositories related to/necessary for my job functions.  As a result, I'm heavily dependent upon the functionality that's provided by Repository Groups.


It would be helpful/useful to expand upon the attribute set currently afforded by Repository Groups, to include the following:


1. The ability to optionally specify (and edit) a short description or comment for the group.  This description could then appear upon hover over the group in the Repositories view.  (some of the "legacy" repositories and parent groups I maintain are used infrequently, and a tool tip that additionally helps to identify the purpose/intent of the Repository Group - and its subordinate repositories - would be helpful).

2. The ability to optionally specify (and edit) a color for the group, which affects the either the folder icon and/or text color of the group name displayed in the Repositories view.  (some of the "legacy" repository and parent Repository Groups I maintain are used infrequently, and a identifiable color that helps better distinguish Repository Groups from one another would be helpful).

Hello,

I also use groups a lot, with dozens of repositories in them. Having colors on each group would be great ! This color could appear in the group and the repo also.


I'm used to have only one log window opened, with all of my main group repo's opened in it.

But from time to time I need to work on other repo, so in this cas I right click on desired group and click open in new window. 

Having a distinct color per group would allow to identify immediately the different windows...
