[Feature Request][Enhancement] Show a list of branches which the current commit is part of

[floriandammeyer]

The commit information tab currently shows the SHA, SHAs of parent commits and child commits and the message of a commit.

Other Git UIs (for example the Git UI inside JetBrains tools) not only show the SHAs of parent and child commit, but also a list of branch names which the current commit is part of, in JetBrains it looks something like this:

This is the commit message

b64caff16b029 John Smith js@example.com on 2026/05/10

In 4 branches:
- main
- origin/main
- feature/example-feature
- origin/feature/example-feature

Not only seeing obscure SHAs for parents and children but also the branch names is very helpful to navigate between commits and branches. I would love to see this feature in SourceGit too.

Thanks for pointing that out, I had never guessed that that is the icon for that feature. I feel like it is unnecessarily hidden. Having that information as another row below "parents" would be much clearer in my opinion. Is that also already done (for example as a configuration option) or can it be changed using a theme?

git for-each-ref --format=\"%(refname)\" --contains <COMMIT_SHA> command sometimes cost more than 5s in very large repository and there may be lots of refs that contains given commit. For example:

It's not a good idea to display this information always. If you need it, just press that button.

I have created a pull request which implements my feature request here #2365

I implemented two things to mitigate your concerns about the command being expensive:

• The feature must be enabled in the options to take effect at all. The default behavior is to keep the tooltip as it is
• When the feature is enabled, the refs are being loaded in the background to not block the app
