I see that this is partly derived from the Git blame package. Would it make sense to add this feature to that package rather than creating a new package?

[rodrigobdz]

@Thom1729 I thought about it but decided to publish a new package instead to offer a minimalistic solution to a common problem.
Git Blame sure offers more functionality but IMO it has a different goal than Git Blame Status Bar.

[rodrigobdz]

Git Blame Status Bar has an approach comparable to the one of the VSCode Extension Active File In Status Bar.
Minimal solution to a simple problem.

[Thom1729]

• You should explicitly handle the case where the file is not in a git repo.
• Generally, ignoring errors is not ideal.
• You should throttle multiple activations to avoid performance problems.

What I would do myself is separate the code into a TextCommand that does all of the real work and a ViewEventListener that invokes that command. I'd also add some sort of timeout to prevent the listener from activating the command too frequently.

@Thom1729 I haven't forgotten this open PR. I haven't got around to it yet.
