Description Alexander Nittka CLA 2020-03-11 04:49:35 EDT
I am wondering wheter the paste command in the Repositories View should really be active on all node types.
On the "Branches" node the context menu conains "Switch To" and Paste. When you select "Branches" and "Tags" only the the paste command is active.

On the "Remotes" node pasting could also be used to add a remote with the given remote URI (or the clipboard content is used in the add remote wizard).

If the paste command was interpreted as sibling to "Clone a Repository", it should be active only on a group or the view's root. The question is whether this change is to drastic compared to the current state. A possible option would be leaving the command active (via key binding) but just remove the menu contribution.
