Stefan HallerandClaude Fable 5.1 4766ce009e Compare user-facing paths when re-finding the selection after a refresh
When the selected rename splits into its two halves, e.g. because it was
unstaged, the selection is meant to move to the new half. With the
default setting of gui.showRootItemInFileTree, it lands on the file that
follows the rename in the list instead.

findNewSelectedIdx identifies a rename by the names of its two halves.
These are user-facing paths, without the "./" prefix that the root item
adds to every internal path, but they were compared against internal
paths. The comparison never matched while the root item was shown.

Compare user-facing paths throughout findNewSelectedIdx. Node.ID already
identifies list items by their user-facing path.

FileTree Package

This package handles the representation of file trees. There are two ways to render files: one is to render them flat, so something like this:

dir1/file1
dir1/file2
file3

And the other is to render them as a tree

dir1/
  file1
  file2
file3

Internally we represent each of the above as a tree, but with the flat approach there's just a single root node and every path is a direct child of that root. Viewing in 'tree' mode (as opposed to 'flat' mode) allows for collapsing and expanding directories, and lets you perform actions on directories e.g. staging a whole directory. But it takes up more vertical space and sometimes you just want to have a flat view where you can go flick through your files one by one to see the diff.

This package is not concerned about rendering the tree: only representing its internal state.
