Push, JIRA: add possibility to choose custom Jira task status and resolution
It would be helpful to be able to specify custom task status in 'Resolve JIRA Issue' dialog window.
I think it would useful when custom Jira workflow used to specify other task status after push like 'Development Done' or 'Ready for Review'
Be able to create merge-commit using system git-flow
Checking "Use pre-installed ("system") Git-Flow" in preferences causes SmartGit to use "git flow ..." instead of its built in algorithms. When doing "Finish Feature", SmartGit's dialog box presents the following options:
Create merge commit
Create simple commit (squash)
Rebase onto 'develop'
If you choose "create merge commit", it passes no options to "git flow feature finish", which will do a fast-forward merge if possible. I would expect "create merge commit" to actually create a merge commit, as it does when you are using the SmartGit git-flow algorithms. It seems odd that "create merge commit" would behave drastically differently for system git-flow vs smartgit git-flow. This would require passing the "--no-ff" option to "git flow feature finish".
Perhaps the options should be the following for both system git-flow and smartgit git-flow algorithms.
Fast-forward merge (which will fail if it can't do it)
Create merge commit (which will explicitly create a merge commit even if ff-merge is possible)
Create simple commit (squash)
Rebase onto 'develop'
Reword the Check for New Version and Check for Latest Build menu items for clarity
The names of the Check for New Version... and Check for Latest Build... menu items do not make it clear what these actually do, or which one you should choose for a normal update.
A simple improvement that would make their functions much more obvious, and more consistent with other apps, would be to rename them to Check for Updates... and Check for Experimental Build...
Add toolbar button for showing staged files only
I would like see staged files only before commit. For using F6-key changes stream.
Add ability to copy tag message
It's irritating entering details for a tag, and then not effectively being able to use them later when I'm documenting release notes. I can see the details if I hover over the tag in the branches pane, but as soon as I move the cursor (e.g. to type), the rollover text disappears.
Graphical overview of revisions, branches, tags
TortoiseGit provides a Revision Graph. This provides a quick overview of the existing branches (local and remote/remotes). From this overview, logs for specific branches/tags can be opened and it is very easy to switch.
Especially for new Git users this overview can be very helpful.
It would be nice to add something like this to SmartGit.
The manual and its features can be found here:
https://tortoisegit.org/docs/tortoisegit/tgit-dug-revgraph.html
Add tabs to log window
Change the log window to contain tabs with different repo's/files' logs, instead of having multiple separate windows.
For integration of the Log window into the main window, vote for: http://smartgit.userecho.com/topics/145
