Ideas

This is my ideas.

Features

• git stash
  • hasselmm: see GB#566292
  • other idea: implement stash as “branch” or “remote”, ie directly in the history view: specific icon + contextual menus
• git svn
  • hasselmm: see GB#566293
• commit (work in progress, but see gitg)
  • hasselmm: see also GB#566757 and GB#566758
• stagging/unstagging
  • from history view, giggle offers the ability to stage a chunck when it comes from working directory and unstage a chunk when it comes from index
  • from browser view:
    • giggle allows to stage (resp. unstage) changes from working dir (resp. index)
    • giggle allows to stage/unstage chunk from the editor pane
    • giggle allows to add file (stage)
    • giggle allows to remove file (unstage)

Use cases

Blaming

1. Search the history
2. View the corresponding tree
3. Use annotations to identify the revision associated to a specific line
4. Consult the related diff and the related tree

Extract generic components.
Build a libgit-glib which will wrap Git feature with GObjects.
Perhaps, build a libgit-gtk with reusable Gtk+ components.

Such libraries will allow to merge efforts from giggle, gitg and others.
