Small things:
-File comparison tool is unusable - the relative floating sides make it impossible to see non-trivial changes.
-No graph view to see branch dependencies
-No exporting a commit from history into a zip file
-No changed line count for quick look at where the significant changes are
-Maybe more, don't remember the all of it
The total on the small things makes it a barely usable tool.
Up and down arrows. They will take you to the next change, regardless of how small. Start at the top and hit the down arrow until you've reviewed all the changes.
> No graph view to see branch dependencies
The log does the same thing, just in a different visual format.
> No exporting a commit from history into a zip file
If you mean as a patch, you can do that in the log. Right-click the commit and select "Format Patch".
If you mean the whole repo at the time of that commit, you just have to do it manually by switching to that commit and creating the archive yourself. If you host your code on GitLab, GitHub, or BitBucket, you can just do this through the GUI of the host. I'm sure there are CLI tools that automate the process as well.
> No changed line count for quick look at where the significant changes are
This is definitely missing from SmartGit. I review 100% of changes and force my team to commit as atomically as possible, so this wouldn't be helpful for me.
I meant the whole idea of relatively floating comparison - you can't see the size of the change, just jump over it since the text on both sides is continuous. If the lines are added, then there should be a gap on the opposite size, with fixed text-to-text relation.
That, or it's a peculiarity of my perception.
False advertisement - their "with no dependencies" turned into hunting for dependencies with ldd and error messages. Should have said "with no list of dependencies".
Then it started, hung at "checking-for-update" and won't budge for 15 minutes already. Not looking good so far.
