Consolidate multiple Git backend calls into a single bundle to reduce
overhead when opening and auto-refreshing repositories. This significantly
improves performance by fetching status, branches, commits, and files
in one optimized operation, instead of re-running 'git rev-parse' and
'git status' multiple times.
Also, streamline commit history loading by fetching file changes inline
via 'git log --name-status -z', eliminating expensive per-commit
'git diff-tree' processes.
Additionally, introduce the ability to create new branches from a
specific commit in the history and refactor the commit comparison
feature into a dedicated dialog. The status panel now displays concise
file names.
Introduce a full-screen, animated overlay to provide visual feedback
when the application is opening a repository. This prevents perceived
delays and informs the user about the ongoing operation.
Also, enhance build performance and binary size by configuring
Cargo profiles:
- Development: Enable incremental compilation, use line-tables-only
debug info, and optimize third-party dependencies to speed up
rebuilds and improve runtime snappiness during development.
- Release: Apply aggressive optimizations (opt-level 3, thin LTO,
single codegen unit, stripping) for smaller, faster binaries.
Implement the ability to create new local branches directly from the application's UI. This includes a new backend command to handle branch creation with validation and a frontend form in the branch panel.
Additionally, extend the global search dialog to include a "Files" tab. Users can now search for files by name or path within the repository. Selecting a file in the search results displays its full commit history, with options to diff the file at a specific commit or restore it to that version.
