Fixes #9194
Proposed changes
When Alt+Click on local branches in the sidepanel, select the tracked remote branch.
Simplify finding remote tracked branches (to for instance find differences).
For branches with no tracked remote the local is selected as before.
Note Ctrl+Alt+Click is not handled now. Should that toggle the remote branch status?
(commit message is not correct right now)
Discussed in #9194.
Cherry-picked from @mstv private branch, with a minor adjustment
Screenshots
Before
The local branch was always selected.
After
One normal click selecting the same branch, one alt-click to select the remote branch revision.
