Make the side panel scroll as a whole

[Noisyfox]

This works much better on small screens when repo has lots of tags and branches

[love-linger]

If whole panel is scrollable, virtualizing will not work. This can cause stalling when displaying a large number of lists or tree nodes.

[love-linger]

for example, this is a user's repo from issue #215, which has 1900+ tags

[Noisyfox]

Firstly the tags are not shown by default. Secondly they can always filter first, if they really have THAT many tags.

[Noisyfox]

My main complatination is even ignore the tags, currently the branch list cannot be properly used on small screens.

At the moment, if you have a lot of local branches, you couldn't even see the remotes list nor submodules, not mention tags.

This is indeed a disaster.

For a redesign, I would focus on two things

• Need to support virtualization so that it doesn't get stuck when there are many items
• Each group should be easily found at any time. For example, if you are scrolling through a list with 1000+ tags, you should also be able to see the grouping of local branches in that state, rather than having to scroll back.

Yeah agreed.

I've pushed a new implementation for this. You can try it with latest develop branch
