Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 3742ac6066 Show an error when editing a file of a diff that doesn't exist
If you press `e` on a file of a commit, and a later commit deleted that
file, the editor is opened on a path that doesn't exist. Most editors
then create it as a new, empty file. This is confusing. The same
happens with `o`, and with any other file that the worktree it is
opened from doesn't have. An example is a file that is added in a branch
that isn't checked out anywhere, since it is opened from the current
worktree.

Show an error instead of opening the editor. For a range selection in
the commit files panel, show it only if none of the selected files
exist. Otherwise open the existing ones and leave out the others
silently; an error shown only after returning from the editor would
come too late to be useful.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 2a3883f502 Show an error if the commit to discard lines from can't be found
Discarding lines from a commit's diff rewrites the commit with a
rebase. For this we look up the commit among the commits of the
current branch. If it isn't there, pressing the key does nothing. The
disabled reason only allows discarding in a diff of the commits panel,
so this shouldn't happen. If it does, the user should see it.

Show an error that names the commit instead.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 56e234e94c Show an error if the selected diff lines can't be found in the diff
When we stage, discard or edit lines of the working tree's diff, we
read the file's diff again and look for the selected lines in it. If
none of them are there, nothing happens. The same goes for adding
lines of a commit's diff to a custom patch, or taking lines out of
it. This can happen if the file changed since its diff was shown, or
if we read the line numbers out of the diff on screen wrongly.

Show an error that names the file instead. As with a file that can't
be found, don't act on any file if the lines of one are missing.

Unlike the file check, this one happens after a new custom patch has
been started. If the error leaves that patch without any lines, reset
it, as we do when the last line is taken out of a patch.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 15ac3c28c9 Show an error if the file of the selected diff lines can't be found
If the path in the diff header of a selected line doesn't name a file
of the files panel, staging or discarding the line does nothing. The
command log shows "Apply patch", but nothing else happens, so the user
has nothing to go on when reporting it. Adding a line of a commit's
diff to a custom patch fails in the same silent way if the path
doesn't name a file of that diff. A diff renderer that names files
differently can cause this, and so can a bug in how we read the path,
like the one we had with diff.mnemonicPrefix.

Show an error that names the path instead, and do nothing else. If a
selection spans several files, don't act on the files we did find,
because that would do only part of what the user asked for. Do the
same for opening a line of a diff in its pull request.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 07e18b4085 Link the file names in a diffstat to where each file's diff begins
A diff opens with a diffstat naming every file in it, right above the
diff of each of them. Selecting a commit puts that list in front of you,
naming the same files the menu of the diff's files offers, and the menu
is still the only way to any of them.

Make each of those names a link that goes to where that file's diff
begins, as picking it from the menu does. The panel keeps the focus, so
a file of the commit being read is a click away and the selection stays
on the commit.

The names are found in the output as it is written to the pane, for next
to nothing. The diffstat is git's own text whichever renderer the diff
goes through — delta, diff-so-fancy and difftastic all pass it on
untouched — and it comes first, so the scan for it ends with it and
nothing below is looked at.

The link states the name as the diffstat does, and which file that names
is worked out on the click, against the files the diff turned out to
hold. That is the point at which a name the diffstat cut off behind
"..." or compacted to the "{old => new}" form of a rename can be
recognized at all.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 e2eab7c956 Add a menu of the diff's files to jump to one directly
n and N step through the files of a multi-file diff one at a time, which
is a long way to the far end of a commit touching a hundred files.

Bind ctrl+g to a menu of the diff's files, in the order the diff shows
them and by the paths the repo knows them by; picking one goes to where
its diff begins, exactly where stepping to it with n would have left
you. The menu filters as you type, so the file you have in mind is a few
characters away however many the commit touches.

The key works in the panel the diff belongs to as well as in the diff
itself. A commit is read from the commits panel, so being able to jump
from there saves focusing the diff and leaving it again for the next
commit; the diff scrolls to the file and the focus stays in the panel.
It is ctrl+g rather than f because a key that works in every panel has
to be free in all of them, and f is fetch in the files panel and fixup
in the commits panel.

The command applies only while the main view is showing a diff, and is
left out of the keybindings menu where it isn't: over a branch's commit
log, or while a conflicted file has given the main section over to the
merge conflicts view.

The diff is read to the end before the menu is built, as searching it
does: a file below the part that has been read is in neither the list
nor the view. Each item names its file rather than the row that file
begins at, so that a diff re-rendered while the menu is up is jumped
into at the row the file begins at now.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 ef71bcf9b7 Open the selected diff line in the branch's pull request
Reading a change in lazygit and saying something about it on GitHub
means finding the line again in the browser: open the pull request, find
the commit, find the file, scroll to the line. The line is already under
the cursor here.

Bind G in the focused main view, the key the commits panel opens the
pull request with, to open it at the line the selection is on. The URL
names the commits whose diff is on screen, so that the line numbers of
the diff are the ones the page shows, the file by the SHA-256 of its
repo-relative path, and the line by the side of the diff it is on: R for
the new version of the file, L for the old one, where a deleted line is.
GitHub documents none of that; the form was read off the URLs its own
pages carry.

One commit is named by its hash. A range of them is named by the commit
the range starts after and the commit it ends at, the form the chooser
above a pull request's files uses. The commit a range starts after is
the parent of its oldest commit; where the range starts where the pull
request itself does, that parent is none of the pull request's own
commits, and the keyword BASE stands for it.

Which branch's pull request that is depends on the panel beneath. The
commits panel lists the commits of the checked-out branch, the
sub-commits panel those of the branch drilled into, and the commit files
panel shows the files of a commit from either. In a stack of branches,
each with a pull request of its own, those lists include the commits of
the branches below, and each of those commits is in the pull request of
its own branch. So the command looks upwards from the commit for the
nearest head of a branch with a pull request, and takes the listed
branch if it finds none. Panels showing a diff that no pull request has
a view of don't answer, and the command isn't offered over their diffs
at all.

Neither is it offered over a diff that is not the commit's own, where
the line numbers on screen are not the ones the page shows: a diff
against another ref in diffing mode, and the custom patch, whose lines
sit at the numbers the patch gives them.

A pull request holds only the commits of its branch that are pushed, and
its pages say they can't find any other commit. So the command refuses
where a commit of the diff is not one of the pull request's. Amend a
commit in the middle of the branch, and the diffs of the commits below
it still open; the ones above it sit on hashes the remote doesn't have.
A commit from before the branch, in a main branch already, is refused
too, and so is a range of commits that reaches across the head of a
branch in a stack, since its commits are in two pull requests. Whether a
commit is pushed is known only for the upstream of the listed branch.
For a branch lower in a stack, that is right as long as the branches of
the stack are pushed together.

Only GitHub pull requests are known, since that is where the pull
request data comes from. The whole path can't be exercised headlessly:
no pull request reaches the model without a GitHub token, so the test
covers where the command is offered and the three reasons it refuses.
The URL is unit-tested instead, both the anchor of a line and the way
the commits are named, and so is the choice of a branch in a stack.

Stefan Haller 550d4011cc Rename ctrl+o description to "Copy selected diff lines to clipboard"
In the staging panel it used to copy the selected text verbatim, but in
the focused main view it copies the diff lines (that's also what the
toast says), and now that the staging panel is gone, we can change the

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 fd70aee09b Remove the hint about hunk selection being the default
The hint was raised on entering the staging panel, once, to explain that
the selection mode there had changed and how to get the old one back. That
panel is gone, and with it the moment the hint was tied to; what is left is
a string nothing prints and a flag nothing reads.

The advice it carried is not lost: the option it names is documented, and
the key that switches modes is on screen while a diff is focused.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 4d23c06eb7 Build a custom patch from a commit's diff, and discard lines from it
The five panels that show a commit's diff now offer on it what the patch
explorer offers on the one file it can show at a time: space takes the
selected lines into the custom patch being built, or back out of it again,
and d takes them out of the commit itself.

So a patch can be built straight from the diff already on screen, over
several files at once and without entering the commit's files first — and
from a stash entry or a reflog entry too, whose diffs the explorer could
reach but which had no patch preview of their own to show for it.

The two arrive together because they are one answer to what a commit's diff
offers, and because d needs exactly what space builds: a patch of the
selection, which the rebase then removes from the commit. Which of the two
space is doing is decided by the first selected line, as toggling a file in
the commit files panel is, and the selection then moves past the lines
dealt with — they are still in the diff, a patch leaving the commit alone,
so a second press would otherwise take them straight back out.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 5d1489bc92 Copy the selected diff lines from the focused main view
The main view shows a diff renderer's picture of a diff, and that is not
what you want on your clipboard: a renderer may drop the +/- column, move
the line numbers into a gutter, group a hunk's deletions before its
additions, or leave lines out altogether. So copying takes the lines from
the diff itself, locating them by the identity of the selected rows.

Only the panel that produced the diff can produce it again, though: the
working tree's staged or unstaged side, a commit's, a stash entry's. The
new seam is there for that. It asks per file, so that copying three lines
of a commit's diff doesn't fetch the whole of it, and it will grow the
actions on a selection as staging and patch building arrive.

The clipboard gets the run of diff lines from the first selected line of
a file to the last, so that lines the renderer hid come along and the
result still reads as a diff. Headers count as selected lines too. A hunk
header names the first line of its hunk, so it is looked for the way a
line of the file is. A file header names no line at all, and a rendering
may draw it over any number of rows, so a selection touching one of them
takes the whole header.

As in the patch explorers, a selection that is all additions or all
deletions loses its +/- column, ready to be pasted into code. One that
reaches into a header keeps the columns, and what comes out is a patch
fragment rather than lines of code.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 440e507888 Jump by hunk and by file in the focused main view
Reading a diff of any size means moving in bigger steps than a line at a
time, which the staging view offers and the main view didn't. So the same
hunk keys work here, and n / N step from file to file — worth having only
here, since a diff spanning several files is something the staging view
never showed.

Where "the next file" begins isn't in the text: a diff renderer may print
whatever it likes above a file's content. So navigation lands on the first
row that states which file it belongs to, which is the file's header when
the source says so and its first content line otherwise. The anchor's own
file is found by scanning down rather than to the nearest row either way —
having just landed on a header, the nearest row above belongs to the file
we came from, and taking it would send the next press back where we
started.

A file you go to is brought to the top of the view, since the file is what
you went there for and the more of it is on screen the better. That only
applies where the view has to scroll at all: a file already on screen
leaves it where it is. In hunk mode what ends up selected is the file's
first change rather than the row the file begins at, and a large context
size can put that change further down than a screenful; the selection is
scrolled into view afterwards as any other jump's is, and the alignment
gives way where the two can't both hold.

The diff loads lazily, so a target below the loaded portion isn't there to
be found; rather than doing nothing, we read the rest in and look again.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 81851dcbbf Show a selection in the focused main view
The focused main view could be scrolled but not pointed at: there was no
way to say "this line" or "these lines", which is what every line-level
interaction needs — editing a line, copying part of a diff, and, later,
staging. So a diff main view now always carries a selection while focused,
starting at the first change already on screen so that focusing doesn't
move the view.

The mode of the selection lives on the main context (a single line, a
range from a fixed anchor, or the change block around the cursor); the
selected line and the range anchor stay in the view itself, whose native
range select draws them, so there is no new highlight machinery. The modes
and their keys are the ones the staging view has, including that the arrow
keys step from block to block in hunk mode.

A pane holds something to select only when what it is showing is a diff
with changes in it, which the render works out once its content is final: a
placeholder message is not a diff, and neither is a diff with nothing in it
at all, such as a binary file's or an empty commit's. Whether a selection
is then drawn there follows from the context stack, as it does for every
other view.

A click in the focused main view now has a meaning again: it selects the
line it points at.

Tags can only be deleted one at a time. If many of them have piled up,

remote tags, and asks for a single remote for all of them. After
deleting local tags, collapse the range selection to its first line;
otherwise it would select the tags that moved up into the place of the
deleted ones.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 26ad23a8d2 Offer to update the branches stacked below the current one when pulling
When somebody else rebases a stack and force-pushes it, pulling the
topmost branch leaves the branches below it diverged. They can be
updated with `f`, but pushing the stack offers to push the branches
below along with the current one, and pulling should be symmetric.

When pulling, find the branches stacked below the current one that can
be updated without losing anything. These are those that are behind
their upstream branches, and those that diverged from them only because
they were rewritten. If there are any, show a menu that lists them and
offers to update them in addition to pulling the current branch, or to
pull only the current branch. The current branch is pulled as before.

The decision is based on the last fetch, not on a new one, so that the
menu appears right away. If the remote has changed since then, a branch
might not be offered although it could be updated; it then shows as
diverged after the pull, and pulling again offers it. The update itself
fetches the upstream branches and checks them again, so it never loses
commits.

Branches that are checked out in another worktree are not offered,
since updating them would change the files there.

The branches below are updated before the current branch is pulled. If
one of them pointed into the commits that a rebasing pull rebases, the
pull would move it when rebase.updateRefs is set, and updating it
afterwards would fail. If updating them fails, the current branch isn't
pulled.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5.5 ef00e18247 Refuse to fast-forward a branch being rebased or bisected in a worktree
The worktree loader associates a worktree that is mid-rebase or
mid-bisect with the branch involved, even though its HEAD is detached.
Fast-forwarding such a branch therefore ran the fast-forward in that
worktree. This moved the detached HEAD and put the upstream commits
into the rebase in progress, while the branch stayed where it was.

Remember in the worktree model when its branch comes from a rebase or
bisect, and refuse to fast-forward the branch in that case. Updating
only the ref is no option for a rebase; the rebase writes the branch
when it finishes.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 78dc65cbeb Fast-forward branches whose upstream branch was rewritten
When somebody else rebases a branch and force-pushes it, the local
branch is left diverged from it, so `f` refuses to touch it. To get back
in sync, the branch has to be checked out and pulled, and for a stack of
branches that means doing it once per branch.

Such a branch has none of its own work in it, though: the commits it is
ahead by are the old versions of the ones that are now on the remote
branch. So when the branch has diverged and none of the commits it is
ahead by is ours, reset it to its upstream instead of refusing. This is
the same state that checking the branch out and pulling it would produce,
as rebase drops commits that the upstream already has.

A branch that isn't checked out anywhere is reset with the same
`git update-ref` that a fast-forward uses. One that is checked out
somewhere is reset with `git reset --keep`, and only when that worktree
has no changes to tracked files, so that the files under the user's feet
change no more than they have to. `--keep` also refuses to overwrite an
untracked file that the reset would bring in, which `--hard` would do
silently.

Stefan HallerandClaude Fable 5.1 9a585bf11e Offer to push the branches stacked below the current one
After rebasing a stack of branches, every branch of the stack has to be
force-pushed, and so far the only way to do that in lazygit was to check
out each branch in turn and push it. For a stack of a dozen branches
that is a lot of work for a routine task.

When the current branch is pushed and there are branches below it in the
stack that have commits to push, show a menu that offers to push them
along with it. The menu lists the branches and how far each of them has
diverged from its remote branch, so that the user can see what is about
to happen. It doesn't show where each branch goes; the branches panel
doesn't show that for a normal push either. Pushing only the current
branch is the second entry. If any of the branches has diverged from its
remote branch, a single confirmation covers force-pushing all of them.

A branch is offered if its tip is a commit of the current branch that
isn't merged yet, it has an upstream that is stored locally, that
upstream is not gone, and it is ahead of its push destination. Branches
without an upstream are left out because a branch that was never pushed
can't be told apart from one that is meant to stay local. A branch that
is only behind is left out because pushing it would move the remote
branch back to an older commit; the lease doesn't catch that when the
remote-tracking branch is up to date.

Each branch is pushed to where `git push` would push it if it were
checked out, using the destination git reports in the %(push) field.
This honors push.default, remote.pushDefault and
branch.<name>.pushRemote without lazygit having to interpret them.
Branches going to the same remote are pushed in one command, with
--force-with-lease when the user confirmed force-pushing; the lease
checks each ref against its remote-tracking branch, so a coworker's
unseen push is still rejected. The current branch joins that command
when its remote-tracking branch is stored locally. Otherwise it needs a
plain push first, for example with --set-upstream, and that option
would apply to every refspec of a combined command; so in that case it
is pushed on its own as before, and the other branches follow in a
second command.

Pushing the current branch on its own still runs a bare `git push`, so
users who rely on push.default or remote.<name>.push for it see no
change. The push is non-atomic, as git defaults to; if one branch's
lease fails, the others still go through and the error names the one to
look at.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 3452d41fe2 Truncate the path column of the recent repos menu too
The path column is the last one, so nothing pushes it aside; instead it
runs off the right edge of the menu itself, and the reader has no way of
telling that there is more to it. Give it a maximum width as well, sized
so that the three columns and the spaces between them fill the menu at
its widest.

A path loses its middle rather than its end, because the directory that
immediately contains the repo says more about where it is than the root
of the tree does. The whole path, with the home directory still
abbreviated, joins the names in the tooltip when it doesn't fit.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 fd5c703e1e Truncate the repo and branch names in the recent repos menu
Each column of a menu is padded to the width of its widest entry, so a
single long name in the first two columns of the recent repos menu
pushes the path column off the right edge for every entry. Anyone whose
worktree directories are named after their branches hits this: with a
90 column menu and one 42 character name, the path column starts at
column 86 of 88.

Truncate both names to 30 characters, and put the ones that got
truncated into the item's tooltip, so that the full text is still on
screen for the selected entry. Filtering keeps matching the full names
and the full path, which the columns no longer show in their entirety.

Looking up a keybinding is a search, so the menu that lists them is the

The prompt in front of the input field says what '@' does. It only ever

embedded in the menu view, and the two are drawn as one focused panel.

Which keys the input takes changes once there is a filter: until then
printable keys still drive the menu, so that the configured navigation
keys work as usual, and afterwards they are all filter text. A menu item's
own keys are never bound in such a menu, because typing one has to reach
the filter rather than execute the item.

Escape gives up the filter and leaves the menu open; the next one closes
it. The filter prompt behind '/' is gone from these menus: the row already
does that job, and a second filter would only be confusing.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 4c39b0b903 Run the stash operations with a waiting status
Creating and applying a stash both touch every changed file, so in a
large repo they can take long enough to be noticeable — and running them
on the UI thread meant the confirmation popup stayed on screen, frozen,
for the whole operation. Run them on a worker instead, with a spinner,
and keep blocking input for their duration so that the type-ahead
guarantee the refresh used to provide still holds.

Dropping stays on the UI thread: it only rewrites the stash reflog, so
it's fast no matter how big the stashes are.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 0ce248d1bf Recognize a repo that has no work tree instead of bailing out
git makes `rev-parse --show-toplevel` fatal when there's no work tree,
so asking for it together with everything else meant we never got an
answer at all for a bare repo: GetRepoPaths returned an error, nobody
ever saw IsBareRepo() == true, and lazygit either died with a stack
trace or decided we weren't in a repository. That's what you got for
opening it in a directory holding a bare repo and a .git file pointing
at it, which is a normal way to keep a repo and its worktrees together.

Ask again without --show-toplevel when the first query fails: the other
queries work fine without a work tree, so if they now succeed we know
we're in a bare repo, and the existing prompt offering to open a recent
repo does its job. If they fail too we're not in a repo at all, and the
first error already says so.

--is-bare-repository is gone from the query: a work tree implies
core.bare is false, so it could only ever come back false there, and
what matters to us is whether there is a work tree to show, which is
what we now go by.

Stefan Haller 7e6d5ff7c1 Don't show an unfiltered list as if it were filtered
Entering or leaving filtering mode switched the screen mode and the
focused panel immediately, then reloaded the commit list in the
background. The result was an unfiltered list presented in the layout
that says "you are filtering", with nothing to say that anything was
still happening — and in a big repo that state can last seconds.

Before we stopped blocking the UI thread on refreshes, the reload
happened before any of it, so the two always agreed; the price was a
frozen UI for the duration.

Do neither: reload on a worker, so the UI stays live, and hold back
everything the user can see of the change until the new lists are ready,
so they still land together in one frame. A waiting status says what is
going on in the meantime, and blocking input means the keys pressed while
it runs arrive after the change rather than acting on a list that is
about to be replaced.

Stefan Haller 2669842445 Show a Github PR's combined checks state in branches list and main view
In the branches list we show the checks icon (✓, ✗ etc) instead of the
gihub icon for branches that are open and have a state. It is a little
confusing, because the ✓ in front of the name means something very
different than the ✓ after it, but the checks status is just too useful
to see in the list.

In the main view we show it as a compact status before the PR title,
with a hyperlink that takes you directly to the checks tab in Github.

Stefan Haller 8731d8a51b Rework the custom pager config (rename to diff renderer)
For a long time lazygit has used the term "custom pager" to refer to
what's really a "diff renderer". A pager is a program that allows you to
view output page by page (hence the name), e.g. less; lazygit's custom
diff renderers are not pagers. It used the term only because the feature
is implemented using git's GIT_PAGER env var, but that's an
implementation detail.

Rename the 'git.pagers' config to 'git.diffRenderers', and restructure
its elements while we're at it to make things clearer:

- Add a 'type' field to explicitly specify which type of diff renderer
  it is (the two fundamentally different ones are 'stdinFilter' and
  'extDiff').
- Add a third type, 'rawGit', which has an 'args' field that makes it
  easy to use 'git --color-words' as a custom renderer
- Unify the old 'pager' and 'externalDiffCommand' fields to a single
  'command' field for both types

Existing config files are migrated automatically.

Stefan Haller 104fdf34a9 Keep the destination visible while commits move
Moving commits runs a rebase, which can take a while. Instead of
letting the drop indicator vanish the moment the button is released,
keep it in place and turn it into a "moving commits here" spinner once
the move takes longer than a short grace period, so that quick moves
stay free of flicker. The indicator is cleared when the post-move
refresh lands.

Stefan Haller b055d28fb1 Show commit insertion points during a drag
Render the insertion point of a commit drag as a non-model item in the
commits list. It must be inserted at the right position relative to
the section headers, because the list renderer assumes non-model items
are ordered by their model index.

Not used yet, we'll hook it up to the drag gesture in the next commit.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 4.8 63bd2d98c0 Show a waiting status while creating a branch
Creating a branch checks it out, and checking out a distant ref (a tag
or a commit far from HEAD) can take a noticeable while. NewBranch ran
that synchronously in the prompt's confirm handler, on the UI thread, so
the UI froze — no spinner, no repaint — until it finished.

Move the branch creation (and the autostash path) onto a worker with a
waiting status, mirroring CheckoutRef, and refresh from the worker so
the UI thread stays live and the spinner keeps animating.

Push the branches context from the refresh's Then rather than up front:
the refresh already batches its UI updates, so switching panels there
lands the switch in the same frame as the refreshed branch list instead
of flashing the pre-refresh list while the checkout is still running.

Stefan Haller 56932abe06 Refuse a repo switch while a foreground operation is in flight
Switching repos reassigns gui.git and the process cwd; doing it while a
foreground git operation (rebase/commit/push/…) is mid-flight would run
that operation's remaining commands against the wrong repo. The same
applies while the refresh an operation triggers is still settling: its
model writes are generation-guarded, but the client-side Then/OnUIThread
callbacks that run after it aren't, and shouldn't run against a repo that
changed underneath them.

Refuse the switch (with a toast) whenever gocui reports a busy foreground
task. DispatchSwitchTo carries the guard for the simple callers. The
callers that do work before the switch check up front instead, so a
refused switch doesn't leave that work half-done: worktree creation
checks before creating (its own waiting-status spinner would otherwise
make the query busy and refuse its own switch); submodule-enter and the
recent-repos menu check before mutating the repo-path stack (pushing /
clearing it); and escape-to-parent (SwitchToParentRepo) checks before
popping it, so a refusal doesn't consume the entry and strand the user
with nowhere to escape back to. All then call the unguarded switchTo,
which is safe because their own operation is complete by then.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 4.8 6681ba7eda Show a waiting status while resetting to a ref
Resetting to a commit/branch/tag from the reset menu ran inline on the UI
thread with no spinner; a hard reset to a distant commit can take a while
and blocks the UI meanwhile. Run it on a worker with a waiting status. The
undo/redo callers of ResetToRef already wrap it this way.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 4.8 f84ada4941 Show renamed files in the custom patch builder
When loading the files of a commit we passed --no-renames, so a rename
showed up as a separate delete and add rather than a single R entry.
That made it impossible to work with a rename that also modifies the
file: the modifications were spread across a full deletion and a full
addition instead of appearing as the handful of lines that actually
changed. The staging view already shows renames and lets you stage
their hunks, so there was no good reason for the patch builder to
differ; the flag was only there because the commit-file parser couldn't
cope with the rename record format.

Switch the commit-file loader and the per-file diff to --find-renames,
teach the parser about the rename record (a status followed by two
paths), and carry the previous path through the patch builder so the
diff for a rename is loaded with both paths, which is what makes git
emit the rename in the first place.

A whole-file selection keeps the rename in the header, so the rename
moves or is discarded together with the file's contents. A partial
selection instead strips the rename metadata and points the header at
the new path, so applying the patch only changes the contents and
leaves the rename in place; the blob index line is kept so that a 3-way
apply can still fall back to a blob merge.

Discarding a renamed file from a commit now discards both the new and
the old path, so the new file is removed and the old one is restored.

Changing the rename similarity threshold refreshes the commit files
panel too, not just the files panel, so that a rename can turn into a
delete and add or back. It is disabled while building a patch, however,
because the patch builder caches each file's diff by path and would
desync if a rename changed into a delete and add underneath it.

Finally, copying a file's diff from the commit files panel now passes
both paths for a rename, so the copied diff shows the rename instead of
a new-file add.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 4.8 0aed44c7f3 Offer to delete the branch when removing a worktree
Pressing `d` on a worktree only ever removed the worktree, leaving its branch
behind even though deleting it too is often what you want. Turn the confirmation
into a menu: "Remove worktree", "Remove worktree and delete branch", and "Remove
worktree and delete local and remote branch". The branch-deleting items come
after the plain removal (they do more harm if picked by accident); both are
greyed out for a detached-HEAD worktree, and the local-and-remote one is also
greyed when the branch has no upstream. The plain menu pick is the confirmation,
so the standalone "remove worktree?" prompt is gone (and its now-dead
translation string with it); the dirty-worktree force prompt and the
unmerged-branch warning still appear when relevant.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 4.8 22914da8e5 Allow deleting local+remote of a worktree-checked-out branch at once
Picking "Delete local and remote branch" for a single branch that's checked
out in another worktree used to fail with "Some of the selected branches are
checked out by other worktrees. Select them one by one to delete them." That
message only makes sense for a multi-selection; for a single branch there's no
reason we can't remove the worktree and delete both the local and remote branch
in one go. Route that case through the same worktree menu as the local-only
delete, with labels that spell out that the remote goes too. The multi-select
error stays for actual multi-selections.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 4.8 4f078f5463 Delete the branch when deleting it via its worktree
When you delete a local branch that's checked out in another worktree, the
menu offered to remove or detach the worktree but then stopped there, leaving
the branch you asked to delete still around. Now both actions delete the branch
afterwards, and the labels say so ("Remove worktree and delete branch" /
"Detach worktree and delete branch") to avoid surprises.

Also drop the "Switch to worktree" item: switching abandons the delete the user
asked for, and it's already reachable by checking out the branch or via the
worktrees panel. And drop the now-redundant "remove worktree?" confirmation:
the explicit menu pick is the confirmation (the dirty-worktree force prompt and
the unmerged-branch warning still appear when relevant).

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 4.8 768d9f1a3f Rework the worktrees-panel 'n' into a branch picker
The old 'n' flow opened a "normal vs detached" menu (the same meaningless
gate the 'w' flow used to have), then asked for a base ref, a path typed from
scratch, and a branch name in three separate prompts.

Replace it with a single picker prompt titled "New worktree for branch",
suggesting local branches not already checked out anywhere, plus remote
branches that don't yet have a local branch of the same name. The entered
value is classified on confirm: an existing local branch checks out into a
new worktree, a remote branch creates a new local tracking branch, and
anything else creates a new branch off the current ref. All three then feed
the same location menu the 'w' flow uses, so paths are chosen from candidates
rather than typed blind. Picking a remote or new branch needs no separate
name prompt — the picker value already is the name. Checked-out branches are
filtered from the suggestions, and a verbatim type-in of one is rejected with
an error.

createWorktree now takes the context to switch focus to once the worktree is
created, so 'n' lands back in the worktrees panel while 'w' still lands in
the branches panel.

This deletes the old NewWorktree / NewWorktreeCheckout core and the now-
orphaned i18n (CreateWorktreeFrom, CreateWorktreeFromDetached, NewWorktreeBase,
NewBranchNameLeaveBlank), completing the migration started for 'w'.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 4.8 23d01ac1bd Redesign the 'w' worktree-creation flow
The old flow forced an up-front "normal vs detached" menu (meaningless for
commits, tags and stashes), then asked the user to type a worktree path from
scratch — easy to get wrong, and ambiguous about what relative paths resolve
against. It also offered the same two actions everywhere regardless of what
was selected.

Replace it with per-context "Worktree" menus whose items imply the intent
(new branch + worktree, worktree for an existing branch, detached worktree),
each feeding a shared name -> location -> create pipeline. The location menu
offers candidate parent directories as absolute paths instead of a blank
field, and "Worktree for a branch" is disabled (with a reason) when that
branch is already checked out somewhere, rather than failing after the fact.

Each ref/commit panel binds 'w' in its own controller and calls the matching
typed entry point on the worktree helper, so which menu opens is decided
statically by the call site rather than by dispatching on a ref's dynamic
type. The three commit panels share one menu through BasicCommitsController;
there is no longer a shared worktree-options controller.

The worktrees-panel 'n' flow and its old core (NewWorktree /
NewWorktreeCheckout) are left untouched here so nothing is written and then
rewritten; they migrate, and the dead i18n strings get removed, in a
follow-up commit.

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 4.8 ed3f4db4f9 Pick both hunks, not the common ancestor, in diff3 conflicts
`b` on a merge conflict is meant to keep both sides. With the diff3
conflict style git additionally renders the common ancestor between the
two sides, and the old ALL selection kept everything between the
outermost markers, dragging that ancestor into the resolved file.

Rename the selection from ALL to BOTH and restrict it to the top and
bottom hunks so the common base is dropped. Without the diff3 style
there is no ancestor section, so the behaviour there is unchanged.

The user-facing keybinding config was already named pickBothHunks; only
the internal enum, handler, translation and log string still said "all".

Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 4.8 afe4d14106 Resolve submodule conflicts through a picker
When both sides of a merge moved a submodule's gitlink, git reports it as "UU".
Pressing space used to fall into the submodule no-op guard and pop the confusing
"Nothing to stage..." error, and enter just entered the submodule, which does
nothing to resolve the superproject conflict.

Treat a conflicted submodule like the other non-textual conflicts: both space
and enter now open a picker offering the two candidate commits, "current" and
"incoming", each labelled with its summary. `git checkout --ours/--theirs` is a
no-op on gitlinks, so we resolve by checking the submodule out at the chosen
commit and staging it.
