Dialog box? Why not drag and drop? Just drag this branch into the branch, to indicate what shape of graph you want, and it merges to make it that way.

How about an interface where you can pick commits from a graph, and drag them into a free space, where they exist as labeled points. Then, draw line segments among hem and connect them to a graph. Then, the software cherry picks these commits according to what you've drawn and creates that branch. The need for a merge could be indicated as a red blinking light on a node. (And the not yet cherry-picked segments are grayed out.) From there you click on it, get a list of conflicted paths, and engage in resolution UI. The blinking indicator goes away, and the cherry pick continues.

Hmm that's not Magit... OSX only and proprietary: no thanks.

Was about to post the same thing. Magit made me so much better at using Git, it's ridiculous.

Hands-down the best Git interface, and entirely keyboard driven. It has improved my workflow more than any other tool besides Emacs itself.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah how dare they develop a nice and useful tool, right?

…and not release under a free/open license for GNU/Linux. Yeah, right. That stinks. No joke. Proprietary software for proprietary OS's ought to not exist.

I hope you're joking or being sarcastic.

> IMPORTANT: During Pre-Release, signing-up for a GitUp account allows you to enable advanced features (like rewriting commits), participate in the GitUp forums, access the "Continuous" build channel, and most importantly, show your support for the app and future developments!

Why do I need a GitUp account to enable rewriting commits?

Furthermore it looks like these prerelease builds expire. I'm guessing the released software will be neither free nor open source.

GitUp Map is mostly keyboard driven at this time for speed, but post 1.0 the idea is to add support for more mouse based UI indeed.

>>Requires Mac OS X 10.8 or later Apparently it is not the interface I have been missing... Having a Git tool not available for Linux is blasphemy

I still weep for Sourcetree support for linux... ;(
