Description RJVB 2018-02-09 18:01:40 UTC

The git/annotation side-bar can be very useful during certain tricky operations such as manually merging code or rebasing patch hunks that don't apply properly. It can also lead to confusion currently as the side-bar isn't updated after source edits and thus goes out-of-sync pretty quickly.

Currently you thus have to remember to deactivate and reactivate the mode which is rather tedious because there is no direct access to either action (a shortcut can be set but is easy to forget because not shown in any menus).

A manual refresh action in the side-bar's context menu would be fine too, if updating the display automatically isn't feasible.
