please considering adding some special icon on closed git repository browser,  or when closed, just remote it from the browser.

if think about still keep in browser, also please adding connect action on context menu of the browser to it.

what do you mean by "closed git repository browser"? When it's closed it does not have any place to display the icon, does it?

are you talking about connect/disconnect ??

yes, I mean, disconnectted / the relative projects closed.
It could be different icons.

when disconnect - attached an closed icon to the repository. and I thinks it is better that the disconnected repository should be removable from the GIT repository browser, if it could be considered, I also think there should be some actions been added. just such as connect/disconnect.

I have been playing with this a bit and before i decide to implement this, i would like to ask a question:
Why do you actually need it? Do you repeatedly connect and disconnect repositories from your system? Why? The disconnect action itself is really dangerous and once you do a disconnect a repo it stops listening on filesystem events and if you e.g. remove/rename a file in the IDE you will end up with broken Git repository (because no git remove action will be performed). These actions were introduced for cases when a repository contained metadata from more than one version control system and you needed to disable one of them - *AND PERMANENTLY*. So once more, why do you want this???

i don't think it makes sense to continue on this unless a meaningless use-case for this is presented.
