Misleading button title in Sync dialog leads to loss of uncommitted changes

By thecodewi... on May 04, 2010 04:41 (imported from Google Code)


What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Have an uncommitted change
  2. Open the "Git Synchronization" dialog with "Git Sync"
  3. Choose "Fetch&Rebase" from the bottom left button/pulldown menu
  4. Press "Start(FastFwd)" button when the "Rebase" dialog opens
  5. Notice that it runs git reset --hard, causing you to lose your
    uncommitted change

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected it to do a fetch and rebase, instead of a fetch and reset.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

TortoiseGit 1.4.4.0 32bit with msysgit 1.7.0.2

Please provide any additional information below.

The only way I want to lose my uncommitted changes is through the revert
function, never by synching, so I suggest either removing the
"Fetch&Rebase" option, or make it actually fetch and rebase.

Despite this, TortoiseGit is a wonderful piece of software. Thank you for
creating this interface to Git.
