Description Michael Keppler CLA 2019-11-19 02:25:27 EST
We recently fixed the enablement of commands. The result of this is that the "Rename branch" command is now visible as the top level menu item in the context menu of the repository node. At least for me that has been an annoyance, because I want to switch branches all the time using the menu, but I never want to rename branches using that menu. Therefore I cannot just scroll to the top of the menu anymore, but have to navigate one item down.

When I introduced the "Rename branch" on the repository, it was only meant to be invoked via F2, to fasten up the alternative of finding the branch node, selecting it, and using the context menu.

I would therefore be rather happy with not having the command as a menu item in the context menu of the repository.

Other opinions?

Sure. Or move it down.
