Githawk: Change repo branch

[rnystrom]

I know this is requested elsewhere but just listing out how the feature should work:

• New option in repo ... menu “Change branch”
  
  
  
  • Append active branch “:branch” to alert title, eg GitHawkApp/GitHawk:branch
  
  
• Selecting menu item shows centered ContextMenu (ex Labels)
  
  
  
  • Load all available branches
  
  
  • Check mark on selected
  
  
  • Only one selected at a time (see Milestones, code might be bad?)
  
  
• On dismiss, having changed selection, reload Overview and Code VCs
  
  
  
  • (_stretch_) If not at root in Code, restore to active file with new branch selected

@rnystrom or anyone else that has thoughts -
1) Do you envision users selecting a row and the contextMenu dismissing immediately, or selecting a row and then confirming with an "Ok" or "Cancel" button at the bottom of the contextMenu?

2) Should we get all the repo branches as a field in the first GQL query (ie the SearchRepo query), or make a separate request for them when the user asks to switch branches?

For 1 I'd say no confirmation needed but not necessarily dismiss right away. Maybe have the button at the top right say "dismiss" or "Close". So the user can pick 1 branch and then pick another if they made a mistake or something.

@huddie what would the button at the top right look like? I'm envisioning this as similar to a tableView embedded in an Action Sheet, with Cancel and Select/OK buttons at the bottom.

[rnystrom]

@BrianLitwin you should select, check mark the new branch cell and deselect the prev, then need to hit Done to apply. Similar to selecting Milestones on an issue.
