SourceTree is great - it's the best GUI git client I've used.
But the repo browser could be better. One of the problems I have is that I have lots of repos I save from github - I save interesting projects as I find them. Later, I want to organize them but I It's hard with only a vertical drag/scroll. It would be nice if there was some kind of tree view with repository groups on the left and repos on the right. If I want to move something from one group to another - I can drag to the group on the left.
Another common pain point would be able to see the files or at least the readme from the repo browser. I have repo called "natural" - what is that? NLP, Natural fit algo, etc. Now I have to open the repo and see - which is friction.
Another similar point point is that I would like to add a description and tags to repos. Eg. I might have 5 repos that are doing similar things and I want to keep them because each does something I like more - I would like to be able to write a comment to help me remember that. It would also be nice to have tags to group products in the way I want. Eg, all the projects that use a certain library (reactjs, scikit) or language (python, php, etc.)

I think these points could be solved without much difficulty and would make the client much more useful.
