If you use Magit, I don’t need to tell you how great it is; if you don’t, I suggest you do yourself a favor and try it out. That doesn’t mean that Magit is ideal, though. It has some issues, though usually very minor ones. Today I’d like to write about something which is definitely not a “Magit issue”, but rather something I personally miss in it.
