Bryan,
Thank you!!! I really hope Atlassian is reading these.
From the progress of the SourceTree development however, or from the absence of any reply from their team, it doesn't seem that way.
I've been putting up with V2.X for quite some time but in the end decided to save myself aggravation and installed V1.10. If lots of people did it than maybe Atlassian would start to listen.
Even with this f.. up change it is still the best GIT repo management tool out there, and Atlassian knows it, hence why there are no replies from the team...
Shame.
