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.)

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.
- X-Istence 8y agoI 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.
