I'm trying to migrate from TortoiseGit to SmartGit.
TG has quite clear interface for creating new brach:
But in SmartGit I've found only "Branch -> Add Branch" which shows quite poor dialog:
I don't want to switch to some base branch every time I want create a new one. Is there a way to choose the base branch in SmartGit like in TG?
SmartGit's Add Branch command is for the very common use case of creating a branch just from your HEAD
. If you want to create a branch on any other commit, just go to the Log, select the corresponding commit (you can Reveal a branch or tag there, use Edit|Filter Commits to filter for a certain log message, ...) and use Add Branch from the context menu.
