Description Tobias Oberlies CLA 2011-07-29 11:17:26 EDT 
There are certain operations (like "Push to Upstream", "Fetch from Upstream", "Pull") which depend on the current branch. These operations are available from the context menu of the repository item, but since it is not easy to see what the current branch and upstream is, it is hard to understand what these context menu actions do.

To improve this, I would propose the following:
- As first child of the repository item, show an "Current Branch (<branchname>)" item. Only in the context menu of this item, show the actions which depend on the current branch.
- As child of the "Current Branch" item, show an "Upstream (<remote>)" item
Comment 1 Tobias Oberlies CLA 2011-07-29 11:19:08 EDT 
Another useful child of current branch (to know what "Pull") would be a "Tracked Branch <remotebranch>" item.
