Stefan HallerandClaude Fable 5.1 77cbb532f2 Add a test for the selection after a selected rename splits in two
When a rename is selected in the files panel and then splits into its
two halves, e.g. because it was unstaged, the selection is meant to move
to the new half. This only works with gui.showRootItemInFileTree turned
off. With the default setting, the selection lands on the file that
follows the rename in the list instead.

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.
