Description vgrigory 2012-11-06 08:38:53 UTC 
Hello,

as a user I would like to be able to somehow recover list of opened files related to a particular git branch.

As you know with git switching between branches is a usual thing, so would be great if IDE would assist, support that.


Best,
Vahagn.

Sorry, i do not understand the request. Please be more descriptive. When you checkout a branch then *all* files from the repository are on the branch, so *every* open file coming from the repository would be included in the list.

sure will be, what I'm talking is usability.

E.g. I was working on SD-2231 and had 3 files open related to it, 

then SD-4563 came which has higher priority to I'm switching to it and opening files related to it. After fix I'm going back to SD-2231 branch. At this point it would be great to have files related to it opened automatically somehow... (really don't know about feasibility, but as a feature it would be useful)


Thanks,
if anything is unclear so far, would be glad to clearify.

I have no idea how git is supposed to realize what files should be opened when a certain branch is checked out. This however seems to be more a task-related issue. See http://wiki.netbeans.org/TaskDrivenNetBeans

in Netbeans Git menu, there is Switch branch option. So theoretically (I'm not an IDE developer) it should be possible to track which files are opened, related to which branch. So my suggestion might be (maybe there is more room for enhancement) to create (automatically) dynamic window groups related to used git branches.


Thanks
