Summary

Closes #14.

Adds Show Repository at Revision to the History commit context menu, so users can inspect the full repository snapshot at a selected commit without checking it out or changing their working tree.

What's changed

  • Open a read-only revision browser with a lazily loaded directory tree and file preview.
  • Display the commit subject and SHA, and highlight files and directories changed in the selected commit.
  • Preview UTF-8 text with the existing file-preview component; copy file contents, paths, object IDs, or the commit SHA.
  • Compare a selected file or directory with another revision using the existing comparison flow.
  • Handle binary files, symlinks, submodules, Git LFS pointers, empty files, and oversized content with explicit preview states.
  • Parse NUL-delimited Git tree output safely, validate object IDs, enforce preview limits, and cancel stale loading/preview requests.

Additional changes included in this PR

  • Improve repository bookmark matching, relinking, repair after remote URL changes, and retrying pending cloud sync.
  • Only show the protected-branch commit warning when protection is confirmed.
  • Adjust authentication email validation and History commit-message layout.

Tests

Added revision-browser service and controller tests covering nested and unusual paths, read-only behavior, special Git objects, preview limits, missing/invalid revisions, changed-path highlighting, and stale asynchronous previews. Added repository bookmark and repository picker tests.

Note: Tests have been added, but their execution status is not verified in this description.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Browse any repository revision with an expandable file tree, previews, change indicators, copying, and comparison actions.
    • Open revisions directly from commit history.
    • Repair mismatched repository bookmarks, select remotes, sync replacements, and retry pending changes.
    • Compare paths against a selected comparison target.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved bookmark matching, duplicate handling, and synchronization reliability.
    • Protected-branch warnings now appear consistently.
    • Added email validation during sign-in submission.
    • Improved handling of large, binary, malformed, and unavailable revision content.

Open a commit in a dedicated window to inspect its tree and preview file contents, with truncation guards on raw git output.

Show email validation feedback in the authentication sheet, and limit the protected branch warning to confirmed protection.
Introduce remote identity model and repair sheet so bookmarks can be relinked after repository renames or moves, with offline-safe transaction handling and retry for pending sync changes.

Changes

Revision browser

Layer / File(s) Summary
Revision data and Git service
macgit/Models/*Revision*, macgit/Services/RevisionBrowserServing.swift, macgit/Services/GitStatusService*
Adds revision snapshots, tree entries, previews, revision resolution, tree parsing, bounded previews, and validation for binary, malformed, oversized, symlink, submodule, and LFS content.
Revision browser UI and integration
macgit/App/RevisionBrowser*, macgit/Views/History/*, macgit/Views/MainWindow/*
Adds asynchronous revision browsing, lazy directory loading, stale-task protection, preview display, comparison actions, and history context-menu entry points.
Revision browser tests
macgitTests/RevisionBrowser*
Tests cancellation, stale results, lazy expansion, caching, Git parsing, change tracking, preview limits, and invalid data.

Repository bookmark repair

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remote discovery and bookmark synchronization
macgit/Models/RepositoryBookmarkRemote.swift, macgit/Services/GitStatusService*, macgit/App/RepositoryBookmarkController.swift
Adds supported-remote discovery, bookmark mismatch tracking, transactional bookmark replacement, pending-change retry, and upload-before-delete synchronization.
Repair workflow and repository picker
macgit/ViewModels/RepositoryBookmarkRepairModel.swift, macgit/Views/MainWindow/RepoPickerView.swift, macgit/Views/MainWindow/RepositoryBookmarkRepairSheet.swift
Adds repository and remote selection, bookmark repair actions, mismatch display, relinking, duplicate filtering, and pending-sync controls.
Bookmark repair tests
macgitTests/RepositoryBookmarkTests.swift, macgitTests/RepoPickerViewTests.swift
Tests repair persistence, remote validation, retry behavior, multi-remote linking, race handling, and repository deduplication.

Focused UI updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Comparison, protected-branch, and authentication behavior
macgit/App/PathComparisonWindowController.swift, macgit/App/ProtectedBranchCommitController.swift, macgit/Views/Common/ProtectedBranchCommitSheet.swift, macgit/Views/Account/AuthenticationSheet.swift
Comparison display accepts a target endpoint. Protected-branch warnings require confirmed protection. Authentication email validation runs on blur and submission.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not add a synthetic final line.

components(separatedBy: "\n") adds a trailing empty element when the file ends with a newline. The preview then renders an extra numbered blank line. A newline-terminated file with 50,000 lines also fails the 50,000-line limit.

Remove only the terminal separator result before the count check and DiffLine creation. Normalize the trailing \r from CRLF lines in the same parsing step.
