I'm not experienced with FreeBSD, so please ignore my ignorance - what changes would be needed to the normal Linux bundle?
what is the directory name of the newly added repository?
Hi Scott, I'm unsure how this could help SmartGit. We already are using a file watcher since ages, but SmartGit does not simply invoke "git status".
SmartGit 18.2 preview provides support for nested groups.
Build 18.2 preview #13110 should support it.
In the latest 18.2 preview build SmartGit tries to find a group where sibling directories already are stored. If none is found, the selected repository/group is used.
That's how I implemented it now for the next 18.2 preview build.
You could move a group onto a repository that is not located in a group.
The Ctrl+Backspace was treated as a accelerator for the Edit | Clear Output command. I've fixed this for 18.2 preview 5 and you could remove the accelerator from this command as temporary work-around.

What exactly stopped working - the duplicate name or this feature? In SmartGit 18.2 preview 7 we have introduced a new feature that should add repositories to the "best matching" group (AKA this one which contains other repositories of this directory).
