As described in the Microsoft UX Guidelines, ellipses (...) should be placed after a menu item which will then prompt for input before performing an action.

I would suggest this would include:

  • File
    • Open ...
  • Commands
    • Archive revision ...
    • Cleanup repository ...
    • Clone repository ...
    • Clone SVN repository ...
    • Create new repository ...
    • Commit ...
    • Pull ...
    • Push ...
    • Stash changes ...
    • Apply patch ...
    • Format patch ...
    • View patch file ...
    • Checkout branch ...
    • Create branch ...
    • Create tag ...
    • Delete branch ...
    • Delete tag ...
    • Merge branches ...
    • Rebase ...
    • Solve mergeconflicts ...
    • SVN fetch ... ?
    • SVN rebase ... ?
    • SVN DCommit ... ?
    • Bisect ...
    • Checkout revision ...
    • Cherry pick ...
    • Go to commit ...
  • Github
    • Fork/Clone repository ...
    • Create pull requests ...

I've started working on this here: https://github.com/danielrbradley/gitextensions/tree/1655_add_menu_ellipsis

Will also aim to update all the translations and plugins too.

For the detail: I think there should be no space before the ellipsis ("Rebase..." instead of "Rebase ...")
