v0.8.1

What's New

Repository Display Names

• New command get_repo_display_name to read repository description as display name
• Displays custom project names in the titlebar when configured
• Falls back to repository folder name when no custom description is set
• Automatically fetches display names for recently used repositories
• Supports Git submodule .git file format with gitdir: references

Titlebar Enhancements

• New disclosure tooltips for truncated repository and branch names
• Interactive tooltips showing full details when labels overflow
• Branch name tooltip displays full branch name when truncated
• Repository tooltip displays both custom display name and full path when truncated
• Better visual feedback for copy affordance with "Click to copy path" hint
• Improved layout with cleaner repository name display

Commit Message Processing

• New commit_message.rs module for parsing and processing commit bodies
• Separates commit prose body from metadata trailers
• Trailers are properly identified as contiguous Key: value pairs at message end
• Empty lines between prose and trailers are handled correctly
• Message body is now returned in CommitDetails for display in the UI
• Both CLI and gix backends return identical body and trailer parsing

File Tree Compaction

• Uninterrupted single-directory chains are now compacted in the file tree
• Reduces visual depth for deeply nested single-folder paths
• Shows full compacted path in folder labels (e.g., game/assets/graphics/100/en/symbols)
• Only compacts when a directory contains only one subdirectory
• Maintains proper layout and selection semantics

Repository State Monitoring Improvements

• Better handling of Git lock files (.lock) - now ignored in file watch events
• .git/objects/ directory writes are filtered out from state refreshes
• Uses GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0 environment variable for status and numstat operations
• More precise path filtering logic for relevant Git state changes
• Reduces unnecessary refreshes during fetch operations

UI Improvements

• File striping calculations now account for visible rows only
• Striping restarts independently for staged and unstaged sections
• Folder rows are no longer striped to maintain visual hierarchy
• Commit details popover properly scrolls when content exceeds viewport height
• Better handling of popover positioning near screen edges
• Popover stays within viewport bounds with minimum 8px margin
