I hope it is ok to add you as reviewer directly as you orchestrated the last commit from me in this area.

I'm really not sure what best practices are regarding icons and tool tips in KDE / Qt or UI in general.

I created some screenshots. Icon ist in the line edit (near the mouse pointer in the first picture).

No filtertext with remotes	No filtertext and no remotes	Search for master and no remotes	Search for master with remotes

Maybe it would make sense to move the whole dialog into git plugin's code.

I will look into it next week. The used icon is bogus. I was hoping for some input on that :) But i liked the idea of an icon in general.

With DVCS we alsways have remotes. Maybe I could have the filter string be part of the git plugin then and accessable via a virtual base class function. And only make it the icon visible if we have a DVCS specialization that has a filter?
