What exactly you mean with "User settings" - the email address used for commits? Do you usually switch that multiple times or is it just a one-time change? In other words, do you commit to the same repository with different accounts/names?

There already is an option in the preferences, page User Interface to disable the verbose date formatting.

Build 16039 (SmartGit 20.2 preview) will remove these ANSI sequences to make the text easier to read.

Could you please provide us with a test repository where we can reproduce the problem?

What exactly should happen if such an entry is clicked - if SmartGit is running and not running?

Build 16037 will contain this.

Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you don't want to see them in the Graph, but you want to hide them in the Branches view. Fortunately, there exists a solution for that. Please add following lines to the .git/config:

[smartgit "refLimit"]

    remoteBranchIncludeRegEx =

    remoteBranchExcludeRegEx =
    tagIncludeRegEx =
    tagExcludeRegEx = build-\\d{4}

and configure the values at the right.

Already fixed since 19.1.

In SmartGit you can show/hide any ref you like - see the checkboxes in front of the refs in the Branches view.
