It's also commerical, expensive software. I agree that it sounds useful, but are there any equivalent open source solutions?

  It's only commercial software if you use it for commercial purposes. They have a pretty liberal non-commercial license as well. SmartGit is free to use for any of these purposes: * to actively work on open-source projects, * for learning or teaching on a public academic institution, * in the spare time to manage projects where you don't get financial compensation for (hobby usage), * by public charitable organizations primarily targeting philanthropy, health research, education or social well-being. (Wording is from their license, English is not their first language.) https://www.syntevo.com/documents/smartgit-license.html https://www.syntevo.com/documents/smartgit-license.html For open source alternatives, a few people I've worked with like SourceTree. I don't think it has the integrated reflog though. I'd be curious about other recommendations too.

    I tend to work on both Open Source and Commercial software. The cost of context switching between different tools because of it's licensing makes it a non-starter to use one for open source and the other for commercial work. Granted, the cost of a tool is minuscule compared to the potential gains from speed of development, and any corporation that balks at paying for tools for their developers won't be in business very long, I still find myself penny pinching and using free and or open source tools, even if inferior or lacking in just one or two bits of functionality.

  $99 is expensive? That’s, like, a half hour of my time

    Not everyone is on your hourly rate. Hardly anyone is on your hourly rate...
