1. Real undo of merges

   I've read your posting about undoing merges:
   http://blog.plasticscm.com/2014/07/how-to-undo-merge.html

   The problem of the solution provided there is that the removal of the integration does not remove the merge link. Furthermore the subtractive merge is not tracked. That is, the changes introduced into the branch "Release500" (CS 180) is like if a developer has manually removed the bugfix.
   Suppose the finalization of issue32 has not made it into Release500. Instead, it has been integrated directly into /main after the release. At the moment you integrate Feature500 into /main you remove the fix again, maybe without noticing.
   What we need is the ability to undo a merge in a way that effectively removes the merge link. That is, after undoing the merge, a new merge from issue32 into Feature500 will show up with all changes as if issue32 has never bin integrated into Feature_500.

2. Improve performance of LDAP/AD mapping from SID to uid (or even real name)

   We are a large corporation with an LDAP (Active Directory) with 10's of 1000's of entries in the LDAP/AD server.
   Today, I think one of the biggest performance issues with Plastic SCM is the VERY large number of requests to LDAP to lookup SID to be able to display uid. Finding a way to speed up this operation would, I believe, be a boost to performance in many operations in Plastic SCM (especially the GUI?). Item view, changeset properties, and annotate history would improve just to name a few.
   I first thought of this problem when asking myself why the "cm li" command takes so long to list the ACTIVE and INACTIVE licenses. After all the licenses are fixed user, so just displaying this list should be VERY fast. But instead it is very slow, taking ~5min 30sec just to list (cm li) the 827 users holding an active license. I am assuming the reason this is so slow it the response of our VERY large LDAP/AD.

   As one possible implementation, this could be addressed by having a cache of SID to uid (or even the option to also cache other fields and use those to display instead such as real name) that is saved in either a file on the Plastic SCM server, or in the Plastic SCM DB. Once implemented this cache idea could even be extended to be able to replicate this cache to users running DVCS so that they can have the benefit of displaying UID instead of SID when working distributed.
   I know that some other tools allow you to have a tool job that run as often as you want to schedule it, that looks up and caches LDAP/AD info. Obviously authentication still has to happen in real time to the LDAP, but all other operations in the GUI/CLI could be against a cache and significantly improve performance from waiting on a corporate LDAP which can be remote (high latency) and slow (very large and the DC handling a very large number of requests).

3. Cheaper self hosted pricing option

   As an indie company, we find plastic awesome but expensive to pick for our development. We would consider it if it was possible to get a self hosted option that doesn't charge us with $23/user/month.

   Usually self hosted means cheaper not more expensive...

4. Remove email support badge or make it optional

   At the bottom the Plastic SCM full GUI there is a blue badge with a button "Email support" and some promotional text "Need help? We normally answer in less than 1 hour!" Although Plastic's support is indeed excellent and people should know about it, I believe such a message is much better implemented as a tip or notification that can be toggled off.

   My team feels the badge draws a lot of attention with its bright blue color and wastes screen real estate since we know about how to contact support.

   I believe it would make more sense to add such as message as a help/tip/owl and provide the option "do not show again". Also, maybe provide a "Support" button in the sidebar next to the other options, like: Preferences, Blog news, Support, About.

5. compare contents as well as timestamps for changed status

   Currently the option is instead of timestamps. It would be faster just to check the contents if the timestamps don't match (unless it already does and this is just a labelling issue).

6. option to select diff tool on the command line

   If you use a console based diff tool such as vimdiff it can cause the GUI problems. It would be nice to be able to set different difftool preferences for the GUI and 'cm diff', possibly with a command line option:

   cm diff --tool=vimdiff

   It might be necessary to give tools names or id's in the GUI preferences to reference from the command line so you can easily configure the arguments.

7. Implement facility to undo, then re-write a previous commit, as multiple commits

   I'd like to be able to split existing changesets, similar to what is possible with 'git rebase'.
   Mostly this is useful for preparation for cherry-picking some functionality that is needed on more than one branch.
   I'm not suggesting that you necessarily inflict something as complexed as 'git rebase' in plastic.

   Instead it might take the form of:

   A. Do a subtractive merge of the commit I want to split. Allow me to then re-merge the subtractively merged commit, without generating any merge links, over the current changeset (or maybe invent some kind of new merge link that visually indicates this in the GUI).
   Items from this commit would then just become uncommitted items in the workspace, which I can then bundle into as many new commits, as I see fit, using the existing functionality, which I can then cherry-pick, as required.

   OR

   B. Allow genuine editing of history, with all the potential trouble for downstream branches that it brings. Presumably, it would involve splicing history, and adjusting parent/child pointers in the DAG.

8. Cherry pick single lines

   Scenario: You're developing a big extension within a dedicated branch. You have a lot of files and changes checked-in with only a few changesets. Now, you need a small portion of all these changes in another branch. You can't use the traditional cherry pick, because you've check-in a lot "unwanted" files with your changesets. Also you changed bigger files which contain needed and unwanted changes.

   Righ now there is no way to cherry pick only some changes from specific files within a branch.

   It would be a great feature, if you could generate a new changeset with only a selected portion of all changes made on a branch. One could then use a cherry pick on this changeset to merge these changes.

   I'm sure this isn't easy to handle, but you guys will make it happen ;)

9. file history improvements

   1) highlight the current file revision in the history list GUI & command line as selected by the workspace (I had a feeling it was bold but isn't in 5.0.44.581). If the workspace revision is modified, the parent should still be highlighted.
   2) give an indication of which revisions have been merged in the history list (eg. a column for number of branches seeing this revision; merged yes/no)
   3) populate the 'Properties' panel when selecting items in the 'Version tree' (it is blank regardless of which branch or cs I select, and many of the cs numbers and names on short branches are illegible)

10. Open double clicked file in pending changes in visual studio plugin.

    When viewing the "Pending Changes" in Visual Studio plugin, double clicking a 'changed' item opens the 'Diff view'.

    I think that when you double click a file it should open the file editor. This will make the behavior more consistent with Visual Studio in general and with the behavior of double clicking an 'added file'...

    It will also make it more consistent with the behavior of other source controls, making the transition to Plastic even smoother.

12. Add Refresh (F5 key) for Differences

    I believe there is a similar feature to refresh the diff window if it's open in the Pending Changes view. It would be nice if there was a refresh button/key inside of the Diff tool itself as well when it is already open in its own window. Having it refresh from the Pending Changes window will help a lot though if this is already working.

13. Add option to filter latest N changesets instead of date filter, to avoid empty views

    I'd like an alternative to date filters, so that views will not be empty by default if I look at a branch or a repo that has been is inactive for more than 3 months. I'd rather have a setting "Show 100(+/-) changesets". Sometimes you want to look at a certain time period, but I think more commonly you just want to limit the sheer amount of data being displayed?

    This might need an addition to the "cm find" query language, to specify "the N latest changesets" etc, similar to SQL "SELECT TOP(N) ... ORDER BY ..."?

    Also, an empty Branch Explorer displays "No data found, server did not return any data for specified filter". This indication should be used in all other filtered views too (Changesets, Branches etc).

14. conditional format/in-/exclusion rules based on repository

    Right now I have no way to define custom rules for only one repository.
    Also it is not possible to identify the repository within the rules condition.

    Workaround: add a attribute to each branch containing the repository name. (Very very nasty)

    It would be nice to:
    1) have a repostoryName variable within conditions
    2) have custom rules for only one repository

17. Show diffs in Branch Explorer and Changesets views

    It would be nice to be able to see diffs of selected changesets in the Branch Explorer and Changesets views. I imagine it being a toggle (like the current 'navigator', 'legend' etc. buttons), which opens a panel which just shows the changes included with whatever changeset is selected.

    I used this kind of thing a lot whilst using git, through gitk, which roughly consists of 3 panels; the list of commits, the list of files within the selected commit, and the changes within the selected file.

    There is another suggestion open on UserVoice for including a list of changed files in the 'properties' panel which would be easier to implement, but I would also like to see content changes within files.

19. Add ignored files without unignore

    Hi,

    there is this user voice item:
    https://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general/suggestions/4230341-add-ignored-files
    which is about adding ignored files. We have the exact same situation from time to time.
    The way to unignore the files leads to a crowded ignore list with lots of !xyz.dll entries. Although one could remove that entry once the item is versioned this is often forgotten and the ignore list is updated with the unignored item.
    Another drawback is that people simply don't understand why they cannot add certain items. Especially when using the explorer context menu for adding items or folder structures there is no action at all. It just doesn't add it and if you haven't had this situation before you just don't get it why the operation failed (without any message).
    I don't understand why the add operation is disabled for ignored items in the first place. Could you please allow adding of ignored item?
    Thanks!
