[BUG] multi-repo

[Gnu-Gorets]

1. Description

Git graph plus doesn't work correctly with repos in Workspace

2. Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Git Graph plus as the only extension
2. Open workspace with 2+ repos
3. Open source control
4. Try to work with it (open Git history, interact via UI, etc)

3. Expected Behavior

It works the same, as Git Graph

4. Actual Behavior

It doesn't work correctly (as it works in Git Graph)

Need to test and you'll understand issue

I think I understand the problem @Gnu-Gorets is reporting, so here is more information (please, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong):

• The root cause is not having a workspace. Opening a folder with several repositories (such as: submodules) causes the issue; it doesn't have to be a workspace.
• Basically, when the built-in Repositories view has more than one item:
  • The Git Graph+ sidebar views Branches, Remotes, Tags, Stashes and Worktrees do not display which repository they are showing.
  • The Git Graph+ main view delays noticeably when changing the repository: the commit graph gets refreshed... but the repositories dropdown takes sevaral seconds to update.

Fixed in v0.3.3 (next release)

Multi-repository workspaces are now fully supported with real-time sidebar synchronization and optimized performance. The sidebar views automatically follow the active repository and expand to reveal the current branch. Repository switching is now instant thanks to a new caching mechanism, and the UI now clearly distinguishes between root, nested, and submodule projects using distinct icons.

Thanks for the report!

@the0807 It's not fixed

I've installed 0.3.3. Could install original Git Graph and try there, please? You'll understand, how it should work and what need to fix+test

@Gnu-Gorets
Do you mean the case where you open a folder that isn't a Git repo itself, but contains several Git repositories inside that need to be auto-detected?

[Gnu-Gorets]

1. mkdir %any foldeк%`
2. cd to folder from 1st step
3. git clone repo1
4. git clone repo2

In Vs Code
1. Add folder from 1st step above via "Add Folder to Workspace" - 1st screenshot
2. Do "Save Workspace as..."
3. Open saved workspace from Project Manager workspace - 2nd screenshot
4. Open Git Graph plus

Actual result: "Git graph plus doesn't work correctly with repos in Workspace"
Expected result" "It works the same, as Git Graph"

If it's too hard to understand and fix, feel free to close issue) I could keep Git Graph, it's ok)
I think, if you're not going to use it this way, you won't understand whole picture.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I really appreciate it. I’ll give it a try and do my best to fix it as much as I can.
