  • Milestone set to “0.8”
  • Tag changed from “enhancement, feature” to “commit, enhancement, feature, flags”
  • State changed from “new” to “open”
  • Assigned user cleared.

  Hm, I'd say this is a major feature (if it is agreed to include it) since this goes beyond git functionality. We'd have to store those flags ourselves, which means their own data-structure, file access and so on.

  One option would be to introduce git-tags called "important-" and "urgent-" for those "flags", but's that not what people might want.

  I'm tagging this for 0.8 right now, though it doesn't mean it will be accepted.

  One idea is to use the new 'git notes' command (since 1.6.3 or so?) to
  annotate stuff. Another (very easy) way to do this is by making it
  non-persistent, and just including a BOOL important in the PBGitCommit
  object.

  Hm, yeah, but as I understood it this is supposed to be persistent, as with tagging mails with Thunderbird (which is a great way to do it btw).

  If we were to use git-notes we should really wait a few months before releasing this as stable, so 1.6.3 has a chance to trickle down to the users. Or we'd have to include a version-check, which doesn't really appeal to me.

  well, we already have a version check in GitX, so it wouldn't be too
  hard to do. However, it'd be nice if more than a few people can use
  the feature. I'm also not sure what the performance impact of
  something like that would be.

  Hm, git-notes isn't in master nor in origin/pu anymore. Junio reverted the merge of it so the possibility of us using it seems far away.

  I think Johannes is right on using Git Tags, since git/versionControl wise, is what a developer should do to mark a specific commit.

  GitX already support showing the Git Tags, it just doesn't let we create it.

  May I suggest a UI mockup? How may I post images here?
