Ability to memorize "ignore date" option

[ffxsam]

Describe the feature that you'd like

It would be nice if the extension remembered our last choice for "Ignore Date". Every time I rebase, I have to uncheck it.

Additional context (optional)

Thanks for making this suggestion, this would definitely be nice to have.

This is actually quite easy to implement, however some thought needs to go into if (all / which subset) of dialog checkboxes should remember the users last choice. I think it would be confusing / mistake prone if only this one dialog checkbox is remembered, as I think it would be a natural assumption for users that if one is remembered, then they all are. However, I think some dialog checkboxes shouldn’t be remembered (e.g. force delete for branches).

An alternative would be to have an extension setting allowing the user to set the default checked / unchecked state of this dialog checkbox. This could easily be extended to other dialogs where there are default values, without any chance of confusing the user.

What are your thoughts on this?

[mhutchie]

There are now four new extension settings to set the default options on the following dialogs:

• Add Tag
• Create Branch
• Rebase

This will be available in v1.13.0.

If you'd like to use it before the next release, you can download v1.13.0-beta.0, and install it following the instructions provided here.

@mhutchie Hey Michael, sorry I didn't get back to you! Having them as settings makes sense, I think. Looking forward to the update!
