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 ?

Fast-forward merge is already done by Pull in the standard window. Reset Advanced is already available in the menu or as shortcut. The standard window follows the principle: often used commands should be easy to perform, less often used commands are a little bit harder - hence we want to avoid to fill the context menu with advanced commands.
I understand the idea of keeping a good balance between easyness and functional coverage.
But about pulling branches : the Pull action is only doable for the current branch to my knowledge. This is for me a major issue in my professional daily use of the software, as I always need to update multiple branches when getting back to a repository. This is the case in my current job, and was also in all of the 3 previous one where we were using git.
I'll give a try to the reset menu action.
Maybe having the ability to add custom actions in some contextual menu would be the best solution ?
In the Standard window a Pull will update all unchanged local branches, so even with forced push there are no diverged branches any more after pulling.
