The Refresh Remote Status feature doesn't work. I cloned several repos hosted on Github, and from time to time I would click the "Refresh Remote Status" but nothing happened, although I was sure that there were changes (by viewing on Github). If I clicked Pull, the pull always succeeded (with the changes)
Another suggestion is that if I click on Refresh Remote Status, and there are indeed no change, please notice me so (by a dialog box for example) instead of saying nothing.
