That works for me.

The key thing is auto-formatting to the correct length while typing, whether it uses hard newlines or not in the control, and then submits with hard newlines as formatted.

Maybe OpenOffice|LibreOffice has something, but I would look at how gitk and git gui do it.

Using Windows.

Yes, risk exists with killing the running process.  I was thinking of letting the current process finish but not starting another one - cancel running the rest of them.  Is this possible?

Additionally, is it possible to not disable a few options, such as Log and the "Open" operations, during the background fetch operation?

Wondering if this feature is on the radar yet?  Just looking to not have to launch gitk and git gui! :-)

Wondering if this feature is in plans for the release 18 stream?  It's my biggest usability issue - opening and closing log windows a lot - so hoping for the Repositories view on the log window.

In case this helps, I have the repositories in groups and use

  right-click on group -> Open Repository | Open Repository in New Window

I use the Open Repository in New Window one all the time to keep open a group of repos and also open another repo group.

fixup! with "Rebase Interactive From..." is working well in 18.1 preview 1 !  Thank you for adding that, I missed having it and used command line instead.

And correctly indent the second and subsequent lines for bulleted lists (e.g. lines that begin with * or -).  e.g.:

* This is my list that wraps

  onto multiple lines with a

  formatted paragraph and indent.

Added related one to configure this at the group level:

Wonderful, thank you!
