remove "geogig > add layer to repository" from contextual menu of layers that are not geopackages?

[gioman]

The message that is returned in such cases is ok:

Only geopackage layers are supported at the moment I wonder if it would be better to not show at all the menu entry.

As suggest by Victor another option would be give users an option like "do you want to create a copy of this layer as Geopackage and start using it with Geogig?"

I like the warning dialog idea because, even it it is frustrating and might seem that is not needed ("why does it lets me try to add the layer if it is not a geopackage?"), it is informative. Otherwise, I predict many users 8who do not read the docs) will complain about it or report bugs saying that the plugin is broken and doesnt show the menu for their shapefiles, etc

Another option might be to add the menu, but disabled, so they can infere that with that type of layer that option is not available. Thoughts on that?

yes, you are right.

seems a reasonable option (it spares a click and a message in a dialog that must be followed by another click), not sure it will spare us from tickets saying that the plugin does not works for shapes, postgis et al. :)
