Native Git support in Zed

Zed version 0.177 introduces native Git support, allowing users to carry out common tasks such as "git-commit" and "git-push" directly within the text editor, thereby reducing the need for context switching. This integration prioritizes speed, keyboard-centric navigation, and maintaining the familiar Git experience. The Git Panel provides a comprehensive view of changes, enabling users to stage, restore, and commit changes efficiently, with the option of AI-generated commit messages. Notably, Zed's unique approach includes a "diff-of-diffs" feature that interleaves staged and unstaged changes for easy keyboard usage. Enhancements under the hood include improvements to the text buffer, allowing seamless handling of deleted text and intuitive diff rendering. Future plans for Zed's Git capabilities involve addressing conflict resolution, offering line-by-line staging, and visualizing commit history, with user feedback encouraged to guide further development.
