            Implemented in 1.4.3, just right-click the branch in the sidebar and select 'Rename...'.

            Nice workaround, I've been popping in to a terminal to do this.

            Yep, I've been doing that for now. We're actually using jira here with SVN, and my workflow is to use a personal git repo and create a new branch for each bug/task # I'm assigned. When I'm finished and all checked in to SVN, I like to prepend the branch name with a resolved tag just to keep my sidebar better organized. Being able to rename a branch directly would be a small but convenient improvement. Thanks

            Thanks for the suggestion - of course in the mean time simply creating a branch and deleting the previous one effectively achieves the same result.
