Early feedback
Some early feedback from using Space -- overall I like it but the things that annoy me most are:
* I use repository mirroring from GitHub. Space mirrors changes very slowly. I have to constantly use the Sync button in repo settings.
* The Space integration in IDEA does nothing useful unless the repo uses Space as upstream. This is fine if we want to commit to Space, but if we're just trying it out (as we are now) and using repo mirroring, then we don't want to switch upstream repo. The integration could detect mirroring is configured, and then compare the local repo's upstream to the mirror?
* The code review page should show the Accepted/Rejected status of a review on the summary page (like Upsource).
* The "chats" for code reviews should automatically unsubscribe when the corresponding code review is closed (or vice-versa) when the code review is opened. Currently the chat list just grows and grows and has to be cleaned up manually.

This too is an issue that we discovered during our evaluation of Space as a replacement for Upsource. We would prefer to continue committing to GitHub and mirror the repositories in Space. The plugin does not allow to create reviews unless the repository remote is Space.
Hello,
Thank you for the feedback!
Unfortunately, in the foreseeable future, there are no plans to implement the ability to connect to an external git hosting directly from the Space plugin since unlike the Upsource that didn't have its own git hosting Space has it.
Could you please elaborate a bit on why it's inconvenient for you to work with a Space mirror?

Hi Margarita. It's not really inconvenient and we can use Space as the remotes if we really have to. It's just not as convenient as we have some mandated commit hooks set up in GitHub Enterprise that we won't be able to set up in Space. More important for us is the ability to easily create reviews from multiple commits to multiple repositories. I've posted in a separate topic about it.
We can live with Space as the remote but it'd be nice if we could use it just as the mirror. Like with Upsource it could create the review once it has pulled the relevant commits.
