I think this issue might be best folded into the All SmartGit settings in a single dialog request, which also mentions search as an aid to discoverability.

Implementing this along with the "All SmartGit settings in a single dialog" request would go a long way towards improving the usability and discoverability of all the powerful features in SmartGit.

Implementing this along with the "All smartgit.properties settings should be discoverable and editable in a UI dialog" request would go a long way towards improving the usability and discoverability of all the powerful features in SmartGit.

Agreed! It's maddening trying to find which of the 5 different settings dialogs (which which sub-section within each) contains the option you're looking for.

Another nice feature of the Visual Studio dialog is that there's a "filter" box at the top that lets you type text and it immediately filters out options that are unrelated to that text. This really helps you find an option when you know it exists but you cannot remember where it's nested.

For example: no filter

and with a "color" filter

Update: it seems like similar functionality already exists for customizing "revert" commit messages: http://www.syntevo.com/doc/display/SG/System+Properties#SystemProperties-smartgit.revert.commitMessageTemplateproperties.

Perhaps that can be used as a starting point for implementing this feature?

I believe this is already possible via the Bugtraq integration: http://www.syntevo.com/doc/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1704589

We've been using this to turn references to bug numbers and code review IDs into clickable links in the commit messages log/details windows

This would definitely be helpful when looking at a log view with many branches. I would suggest bolding the parent commit and drawing in a bold the path from the selected commit to the parent.

This would be very helpful to us as well. I was about to file this request myself when I saw that someone else already had.

What I would like would be the ability to right-click on a stash in the stashes list and choose "Selectively Apply Stash...". This would then open a dialog where I can select the subset of files I wish to unstash. The reason I would like a separate dialog is that, currently, the log breaks stashes apart into 3 separate commits (index, untracked, and local changes), and it's not currently possible to simultaneously select files from multiple of these.

Ideally, as Petr D. suggested above, this would result in resolvable conflicts if they occur.

Yes, I am aware of that option. However, there is no control of the format or the placement of the text it appends to the commit message. That is the reason for this feature request.
