Right now, repository groups are purely for structuring, without any repository related commands. However, I find myself missing the ability to at least pull directly from the context menu of a group. It should be sufficient to change the selection-to-repository mapping and the calculation of core properties to effectively delegate that command to the contained repositories.
The original bug triggering the introduction of repository groups (bugzilla 545123) also mentions branch creation and branch switching as potential bulk operations. * Maybe these two can be handled analogously. * Are there other operations for which a bulk option would make sense?

I added a change for activating the existing bulk branch switch for repository groups.

I added a proof of concept change for a bulk branch creation. I will refine the change if you think that it is functionally sound.

for now i would say that you should show the same context menu as you have when you multi select a few repo's.. Because for me a group is nothing more then a "multi select" And right now we don't have branch creation (i had that in a egit for that i had for quite some time) But right now we don't need that that much anymore because of our release schedules are not more like "master" and "release" where release is constantly moving every 3 months (master is merged to release) But still it would be very nice to have a bit more multi creating like branches or tags (thats now always very cumbersome and a lot of repetitive work over multiply repo's) I will have a look at the gerrit, but can't we somehow just hook into the multi select menu? (so even if we change there that we now also support creating tags that we auto have that in the group one? so we don't need to change this at 2 places?)
