Items outstanding:
- * Checkout $PARENT version to working directory, overwriting current
- version. ($PARENT is HEAD, except when amending).
-
- * Update index with $PARENT version but leave working directory
- alone.
+ * Add file to .gitignore or info/excludes.
* Populate the pull menu with local branches.
- * Populate the pull menu with default merge branch from each remote.
-
* Make use of the new default merge data stored in repo-config.
- * Indicate what the current branch is.
-
* Checkout or create a different local branch.
* Delete a local branch.
- * Store user preferences (like font, window layout) in global
- repo-config.
-
* Allow user to define keyboard shortcuts for frequently used fetch
or merge operations. Or maybe just define a keyboard shortcut
for default fetch/default merge of current branch is enough;
* Show a shortlog of the last couple of commits in the main window,
to give the user warm fuzzy feelings that we have their data
- saved.
+ saved. Actually this may be the set of commits not yet in
+ the upstream (aka default merge branch remote repository).
+
+ * GUI configuration editor for options listed in
+ git.git/Documentation/config.txt. Ideally this would
+ parse that file and generate the options dialog from
+ the documentation itself, and include the help text
+ from the documentation as part of the UI somehow.
+
+Known bugs:
+
+ * git-gui sometimes just closes on Windows with no error message.
+ I'm not sure what the problem is here. I suspect the wish
+ process is just terminating due to a segfault or something,
+ as the do_quit proc in git-gui doesn't run. It often seems to
+ occur while writing a commit message in the buffer. Odd.
+
+ * At one point after using git-gui for a while to make many commits
+ to a repository I reverted one file through git-gui and another
+ manually in my editor; during commit git-gui crashed with an
+ error about the icon name it was trying to update no longer
+ existed in the widget. I suspect something didn't update right
+ in file_states...
