Yes.  Could also restrict to when having a tracked remote configured but it's not found, per below.

Thank you; I'm sorry I did not notice that, I think because branch names are all longer and exceed my Branches view width and I'm used to hovering over the name, not horizontally scrolling.

This is the case I mainly meant, and the "red ?" is already an indicator, so this is an invalid request to add one.

Perhaps make red the whole branch name when the tracked remote does not exist, instead of a "red ?" at the end of the branch name?

I couple of other ideas, but I think my fav is a red branch name; these two following ideas change the consistency of the list beginnings between the branches sections, making Local Branches slightly different:

Perhaps the triangle sometimes present to the left of the branch name could be red when missing the tracked remote branch, in addition to the ? or as a replacement for?  (I'm still trying to learn when it appears and when it doesn't; seems only with remote branch existing or when is the current branch, but can't determine the other times, is it branched from sometimes? and there is no correlation in the tooltip for the triangle telling the state, which would be nice! :-)

Perhaps a small circle at the front of the branch name representing status (which could replace the ? and n> statuses at end of branch name)?  If this is irritating to some users, can have a config "Display 'Local Branches' status in Branches view" to display it or not.  Statuses such as:

• hollow for no remote
• solid for tracked remote (white or black, based on theme, as the triangle)
• solid red for tracked remote but no remote exists
• solid yellow for commits ahead of tracked remote (doesn't match Repos view status of red tho); doesn't have commit count tho
• solid green for commits behind tracked remote (matches Repos view status of green); doesn't have commit count tho

The new Log window repos/branches feature is awesome!  Thank you!

W00t!!  Thanks for the sneak peek.  Looking forward to it!

Any improvements planned for this one in 18.2 (he asks, hopefully... :-) )?

...or "Restart SmartGit".  I think Relaunch is a good clarity replacement.

Instead of "switching back" can SG devs improve the new one with this feature the prior had? I would like that more because I appreciate the improved diffs; I also miss the "stage lines" that worked better of the prior implementation.

Oh duh, of course.  Thank you.  Wish I had thought of trying that!

My original thought was to remove items that didn't match for clarity, but that's a low priority/luxury item.

Thank you!!  That works great!

This is not a feature I have needed a lot, but could use this feature right now. :-)

Oooooooooooo 18.2 is on deck! :-)
