See only selected branches / tags [feature]

[gigi206]

I think it missing one essentially feature:

• a checkbox before each branch and tag to allow the possibility to see only the selected branches and tags

Actually ungit has checkbox but only for all tags or branches and we cannot select the desired ones.

:-) I was just about to make essentially the same feature request -- some way to hide branches that are not of current interest. When some of my teammates are furiously working on branches that are not directly related to my own current work, it creates a lot of visual noise and the branch relationships that do matter to my work become difficult to see.

The current checkboxes control what is shown in the dropdown menu. What I would like (and I suspect what gigi206 was asking for?) is an option to show or hide branches in the main commit graph display. A checkbox or eyeball widget to hide/show each branch and tag would give fine control, and that would be useful.

A different one-click solution that would work really well for my purposes would be an option to only display remote branches for which I have a local tracking branch. This is essentially the recent request 1294.

This request is related to 1293 and 778, and might even go some ways to help those who requested 477 and 1160.

This is my current situation:

And this is very roughly what it would look like with the branches I don't care about hidden. Still a bit of a pain since I got called away from this project for two weeks, but considerably easier to navigate:
