[FEATURE REQUEST] Display incoming trunk commits

[dodalovic]

First of all - thanks for your wonderful product!

Currently, we have 2 options, either to display incoming / outgoing commits by specifying Parent branch mode, which works just fine.

Personally, I feel it would be awesome if I can leave this option to Auto as is, and be able to have a new config option to somehow display that my feature branch is running behind specified trunk (e.g. origin/master) and display it somehow slightly differently (more transparent) than incoming changes from remote tracked branch.

That way, I could both track remote tracking branch changes, as well as how much I'm running behind trunk.

Many thanks!

@zielu Having these 3 things shown in some intelligent way would be impressive. Are you proposing this or you're saying that this can be displayed somehow with the current plugin?

Let me rephrase, I haven't noticed that comment was saved :)

For feature branch (FB) pulled out from master:

Currently Auto displays how much FB has diverged from origin/master:

• how many commits origin/master has are not in FB (incoming commits)
• how many commits FB has that are not in origin/master (outgoing commits)

This depends however on Task Management - you have to create feature branches using tasks, otherwise it will show ahead & behind origin/FB. This is why it's called Auto ;)

What you would like to have is something like this ?:

• how much master is behind origin/master
• how much FB is ahead & behind origin/FB
• how much FB diverged from origin/master (commits not present in one side or the other)

Yes, that'd be awesome! That'd help me get all the info needed. I'm not sure, though, if this is only me finding that valuable.
