Show branch names in Merge Tool
There are only changeset numbers and base/source/destination titles shown in the Merge Tool (or any external merge tool). It will be very helpful if the names of branches will be shown too. When I merge one branch to another I do not remember (and care about) the changesets numbers and I might be not confident what the source is and what the destination is. The branch names would help me to figure out which version is which immediately.

Done.
Available from 5.4.12.575.
The file name is now visible and there’s a new button called “Info about this merge” that will reveal full detailed info about the contributors.

A tooltip with a full title would be useful too.

Oh, I missed that. So then my suggestion is this: change the position of the ellipsis. A file name and a branch name is more important than a full path to the file (it is the same for all contributors in most cases anyway, and can be seen in a windows title).

The branch is already part to the contributor name. The current name of the contributor is: <path>#br:<branch>#cs:<changeset>. But maybe it is hidden by the ellipsis. If you maximize the contributor you will see branch.
