• #390 When creating a branch or adding a tag, the name is now checked against all existing branches and tags in the repository. If a branch / tag already exists with the same name, a new dialog is displayed that allows you to: replace the existing branch / tag, or to choose another name.
• #402 New mode for the Find Widget, which will additionally open the Commit Details View as you navigate through each of the matched commits. This mode is enabled / disabled via a new button on the Find Widget.
• #404 New context menu on all link elements (e.g. Issue Links, URL's in commit messages, author email addresses), enabling the URL to be copied to the clipboard.
• #417 New context menu actions for branches, to select / unselect the branch in the Branches Dropdown.
• #424 Consume Git configuration variables (remote.pushDefault, branch.<name>.remote & branch.<name>.pushRemote) to set the default remote to push branches and tags to (when multiple remotes are configured for a repository).
• #426 If a diff tool is configured in Git (diff.tool or diff.guitool), you can now open a directory diff in the configured tool from the Commit Details View Control Bar. Note: diff.tool is opened via a Visual Studio Code Terminal, whereas diff.guitool is opened via a background process.
• #427 When deleting a branch that is not fully merged, and "Force Delete" is not set on the "Delete Branch" dialog, a new dialog is subsequently shown to allow one-click force deletion, instead of displaying the error message returned by Git.
• #429 Stashes can be hidden on the Git Graph View by disabling the new extension setting git-graph.repository.showStashes. It can be overridden per repository in the Git Graph View's Repository Settings Widget.
• #452 Explicitly override the Git configuration variable log.showSignature to ensure consistent parsing of commits.
• Significant code and UI improvements.
