1 Possible future improvements:
2 (used to be slated for 0.9.0, but totally missed that)
4 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/54303
6 * Automatically refetch tracking branches in merge
8 * Text mode log viewer:
9 `git-log`, `git-log -g`
11 * File monitor on WinNT (to avoid costly Rescan on large projects)
13 * Remove more porcelain shell dependencies:
14 `git-merge`, `git-repack`, `git-remote prune`
16 * UI for cherry-pick/revert
18 * Generational GC for 'Compress Database'
19 * Integration with git-stash
20 * Hunk splitting/selection
22 * Push specific tags by name (rather than by --tags)
23 * Pull from arbitrary URL/branch pair
27 * Add file to .gitignore or info/excludes.
29 * Better organize fetch/push/pull console windows.
31 * Remotes editor (for .git/config format only).
33 * Show a shortlog of the last couple of commits in the main window,
34 to give the user warm fuzzy feelings that we have their data
35 saved. Actually this may be the set of commits not yet in the
36 upstream (aka default merge branch remote repository).
38 * GUI configuration editor for options listed in
39 git.git/Documentation/config.txt. Ideally this would parse
40 that file and generate the options dialog from the documentation
41 itself, and include the help text from the documentation as part
44 * Allow user to view unreachable objects in verify database.
47 * Allow user to recover an unreachable object in verify database.
50 * Launch the user's editor (core.editor) for the commit message.

53 * Clicking on file list header in main window shows entire patch,
56 * Move/save our settings to ~/.gitgui-config and .git/gitgui-config,
57 not to the master user/repository configuration files.
61 * Diff viewer doesn't show files in proper character encoding.
62 Blame viewer probably has the same issue.
64 * Geometry restore on resized virtual desktop is horrible; e.g.
65 if I have git-gui on my external monitor and then disconnect the
66 monitor and later restart git-gui, it opens in an unreachable
67 part of my desktop. gitk has the same wart.
69 * Restoring split pane dividers on windows larger than 440 pixels
70 doesn't work right as the geometry of the window is not processed
71 by Tk until after an update event, so the divider will refuse to
72 adjust to the desired location.
74 * The first try to clone errored out because of an incorrect
75 URL. It would have been nice if we had been sent back to the
76 "Clone repository" window so that we could fix the error. But
77 instead git-gui terminated and we had to type in everything again.
