Enable topic branch + review workflows with GitHub and GitLab #1596
Description
The way StackEdit currently works with Git hosting services is that it takes the branch the workspace is configured for and syncs the editor to that branch both ways. However, that is often undesirable since many projects employ workflows involving reviewing changes before they’re merged. Additionally, in case of conflicts within the same sentence, StackEdit may produce results that are neither correct nor expected (#1595).
It would be great if StackEdit could (as an alternative), on a first edit, create a topic branch and keep committing changes onto that branch only, while optionally merging changes from the master (or some other pre-defined) not conflicting with the changes done in this branch. A separate button, e.g. Send for review would open a GitLab merge request or GitHub pull request creation page.
