Closes [#41674](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/41674)
Description:
Creating a branch from a base requires switching to the base branch
first, then creating the new branch and checking out to it, which
requires multiple operations.
Add base_branch parameter to create_branch to allow a new branch from a
base branch in one operation which is synonymous to the command `git
switch -c <new-branch> <base-branch>`.
Below is the video after solving the issue:
(`master` branch is the default branch here, and I create a branch
`new-branch-2` based off the `master` branch. I also show the error
which used to appear before the fix.)

Release Notes:
- Fixed the branch-picking error by replacing multiple sequential switch
operations with just one switch operation.
Signed-off-by: ayu-ch <ayu.chandekar@gmail.com>
- Updated `blame_ui.rs`, `branch_picker.rs`, `commit_tooltip.rs`, and
`commit_view.rs` to replace the previous timestamp formatting with
`chrono` for better accuracy in local time representation.
- Introduced `chrono::Local::now().offset().local_minus_utc()` to obtain
the local offset for timestamp formatting.
Closes#40878
Release Notes:
- Improved timestamp handling in various Git UI components for enhanced
user experience.

This refactors when we resolve UI keybindings in an effort to reduce
flickering whilst painting these: Previously, we would always resolve
these upon creating the binding. This could lead to cases where the
corresponding context was not yet available and no binding could be
resolved, even if the binding was then available on the next presented
frame. Following that, on the next rerender of whatever requested this
keybinding, the keybind for that context would then be found, we would
render that and then also win a layout shift in that process, as we went
from nothing rendered to something rendered between these frames.
With these changes, this now happens less often, because we only look
for the keybinding once the context can actually be resolved in the
window.

Also reduced cloning in the keymap editor in this process, since that
requiered changing due to this anyway.
Release Notes:
- Fixed some cases where keybinds would appear with a slight delay,
causing a flicker in the process
I noticed that branch picker doesn't close until the checkout operation
is completed.
While normally it's not an issue, it becomes obvious if there are longer
running post checkout hooks. In that case selecting a branch makes it
feel like nothing has happened (there's a small indicator in the footer)
so it's possible to click it multiple times. Closing the modal before
the operation completes leads to the error modal saying `Failed to
change branch. entity released. Please try again.` even though the
checkout was successful.
The new behavior is to close the branch picker as soon as the branch is
selected. This also aligns with the existing behavior in `create_branch`
where `cx.emit(DismissEvent);` is called without waiting for
`repo.update`.
And as I mentioned before there an indicator in the footer saying `git
switch <branch_name>` with a spinner thingy.
I also added a check in the picker's `open` function where it first
checks if there's currently an active job and does not show the picker
in that case.
If this generally makes sense I can add the tests as well if needed.
P.S I checked how it works in VSCode and yes it also closes the branch
picker as soon as the branch is selected. The only difference is that
they show the loading indicator right next to the branch name (with a
new branch) but in our case the current branch and activity indicator
are located in different places.

Release Notes:
- The branch picker now closes immediately after a branch is selected,
instead of waiting for the branch switch to complete.

Release Notes:
- settings: Major internal changes to settings. The primary user-facing
effect is that some settings which did not make sense in project
settings files are no-longer read from there. (For example the inline
blame settings)

This removes around 900 unnecessary clones, ranging from cloning a few
ints all the way to large data structures and images.
A lot of these were fixed using `cargo clippy --fix --workspace
--all-targets`, however it often breaks other lints and needs to be run
again. This was then followed up with some manual fixing.
I understand this is a large diff, but all the changes are pretty
trivial. Rust is doing some heavy lifting here for us. Once I get it up
to speed with main, I'd appreciate this getting merged rather sooner
than later.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Closes#33700
The option shows up as an icon that appears on entries that would create
a new branch. You can also branch from the default by secondary
confirming, which the icon has a tooltip for as well.
We based the default branch on the results from this command: `git
symbolic-ref refs/remotes/upstream/HEAD` and fallback to `git
symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`
Release Notes:
- Add option to create a branch from a default branch in git branch
picker

This PR improves UX by converting spaces to hyphens, following branch
naming conventions and allowing users to create branches without
worrying about naming restrictions.
I think a few other git tools do this, which was nice.
Release Notes:
- Updated the branch picker to convert spaces to hyphens when creating
new branch names.

https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/30972 brought up another
case where our context is not enough to track the actual source of the
issue: we get a general top-level error without inner error.
The reason for this was `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("failed to read HEAD
SHA"))?; ` on the top level.
The PR finally reworks the way we use anyhow to reduce such issues (or
at least make it simpler to bubble them up later in a fix).
On top of that, uses a few more anyhow methods for better readability.
* `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("..."))`, `map_err` and other similar error
conversion/option reporting cases are replaced with `context` and
`with_context` calls
* in addition to that, various `anyhow!("failed to do ...")` are
stripped with `.context("Doing ...")` messages instead to remove the
parasitic `failed to` text
* `anyhow::ensure!` is used instead of `if ... { return Err(...); }`
calls
* `anyhow::bail!` is used instead of `return Err(anyhow!(...));`
Release Notes:

This PR completes the process of moving git repository state storage and
scanning logic from the worktree crate to `project::git_store`.

This is a pure refactoring PR that goes through all the git-related APIs
exposed by the worktree crate and minimizes their use outside that
crate, migrating callers of those APIs to read from the GitStore
instead. This is to prepare for evacuating git repository state from
worktrees and making the GitStore the new source of truth.
Other drive-by changes:
- `project::git` is now `project::git_store`, for consistency with the
other project stores
- the project panel's test module has been split into its own file

- N/A

This is the core change:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/26758/files#diff-044302c0d57147af17e68a0009fee3e8dcdfb4f32c27a915e70cfa80e987f765R1052
TODO:
- [x] Use AsyncFn instead of Fn() -> Future in GPUI spawn methods
- [x] Implement it in the whole app
- [x] Implement it in the debugger
- [x] Glance at the RPC crate, and see if those box future methods can
be switched over. Answer: It can't directly, as you can't make an
AsyncFn* into a trait object. There's ways around that, but they're all
more complex than just keeping the code as is.
- [ ] Fix platform specific code
Release Notes:
- N/A
Previously, when clicking on the branch, the popover would obscure the
button you just clicked, which was awkward.
Release Notes:
- Improved the placement of the repo and branch picker popovers in the
git panel.
- Added a 'SelectRepo' action that opens the repository selector in a
modal.
This moves spawning of the git subprocess to the main thread. We're not
yet
sure why, but when we spawn a process using GCD's background queues,
sub-processes like git-credential-manager fail to open windows.
This seems to be fixable either by using the main thread, or by using a
standard background thread,
but for now we use the main thread.
Release Notes:
- Git: Fix git-credential-manager

Closes#26273
Release Notes:
- git: Fixes opening the branch selector in the commit modal with
cmd-option-b
- git: Truncates the branch selector in the commit modal
- Truncate branch names based on the width of the picker
- Use a footer for "Create branch" instead of a picker entry
Still to do:
- [x] Select the footer button when no matches and run the create logic
on `enter`
- [x] Make it possible to quickly select the footer button from the
keyboard when there are matches
Release Notes:
- Git Beta: Removed limitation that made it impossible to create a
branch from the branch picker when it too closely resembled an existing
branch name
This gives us _very_ rudimentary support for `git switch` and `git
checkout` now, by making them aliases for our existing `git::branch`
call.
Release Notes:
- Git Beta: Added `git::Switch` and `git::CheckoutBranch` as aliases for
the existing `git::Branch`
Release Notes:
- Git Beta: Fixed a bug where the branch selector would only show for
the first repository opened.

This fixes a major performance issue in the current git beta.
This PR also removes the PopoverButton component, which was easy to
misuse.
Release Notes:
- Git Beta: Fix frame drops caused by opening the git panel

This PR moves the `PopoverButton` component into the `ui` crate.
The `popover_button` crate only depended on `ui`, so there doesn't seem
to be a need for it to live in its own crate and add another step in the
crate graph.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR combines two disjoint conditions for the same value into one.
This makes it so the type checker can accurately reason about the
branches.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR adds the branch selector to the git panel and fixes a few bugs
in the repository selector.
Release Notes:
- N/A
