Previously, when rebasing a branch onto a newer master, all commits from the
previous fork point up to its head were marked red (unpushed), including the
commits that are on master already. While this is technically correct from the
perspective of the current branch's upstream, it's not what most people expect,
intuitively; they want to see where the current branch starts, relative to
master. So all commits of master should be green, and then the commits of the
current branch in red.
I don't see a reason why this restriction to have the selection be always
visible was necessary. Removing it has two benefits:
1. Scrolling a list view doesn't change the selection. A common scenario: you
look at one of the commits of your current branch; you want to see the how
many'th commit this is, but the beginning of the branch is scrolled off the
bottom of the commits panel. You scroll down to find the beginning of your
branch, but this changes the selection and shows a different commit now - not
what you want.
2. It is possible to scroll a panel that is not the current one without changing
the focus to it. That's how windows in other GUIs usually behave.
Enabling the filter selects the first entry in the filtered commits view. It's
useful to have a test that checks this, as I almost broke it in the following
commit (it needs an added FocusLine call in the setFiltering function in
filtering_menu_action.go).
We now refresh the staging panel when doing an unscoped refresh, so that if we commit from the staging panel we escape
back to the files panel if need be. But that causes flickering when doing an unscoped refresh from other contexts,
because the refreshStagingPanel function assumes that the staging panel has focus. So we're adding a guard at the top
of that function to early exit if we don't have focus.
When cycling history, we want to make it so that upon returning to the original prompt, you get your text back.
Importantly, we don't want to use the existing preservedMessage field for that because that's only for preserving
a NEW commit message, and we don't want the history stuff of the commit reword flow to overwrite that.
When we use the one panel for the entire commit message, its tricky to have a keybinding both for adding a newline and submitting.
By having two panels: one for the summary line and one for the description, we allow for 'enter' to submit the message when done from the summary panel,
and 'enter' to add a newline when done from the description panel. Alt-enter, for those who can use that key combo, also works for submitting the message
from the description panel. For those who can't use that key combo, and don't want to remap the keybinding, they can hit tab to go back to the summary panel
and then 'enter' to submit the message.
We have some awkwardness in that both contexts (i.e. panels) need to appear and disappear in tandem and we don't have a great way of handling that concept,
so we just push both contexts one after the other, and likewise remove both contexts when we escape.
