apoogies for spamming
@lszomoru , @kieferrm is there a roadmap for the git graph feature to see what might be coming in the future?

• is there a plan to show tags on the commits?
• is there a plan to soft/hard deletes?

[lszomoru]

is there a plan to show tags on the commits?

you can enable that in the latest VS Code Insiders release using the "scm.graph.badges": "all" setting.

is there a plan to soft/hard deletes?

yes, we will continue to expand the list of actions that are available in the Source Control Graph

Hi,
I'm having trouble adding a reviewer in my VS Code while creating a pull request using the in-IDE experience.

Is there a plan to add reviewers in VS-Code?

[iwangbowen]

We want new features

Hello, I'm having trouble adding a reviewer in my VS Code while creating a pull request using the in-IDE experience.

Is there a plan to add reviewers in VS-Code?

Thank you, admin, I noticed this has been fixed, and I can add a reviewer without context switching.

I appreciate your help with this one.

Have a great day.

[aguluman]

Contributors are not shown on the git icon page on VS-Code. It queries then times out.

Bringing it to your attention.

Thank you.
