Description

It would be great if SCM Graph would follow (switch automatically) to the currently selected Git Worktree. Yes, there is an option to switch manually and it works great. But as an improvement, it would be great to have an option to "stick" graph to worktree/branch selection.

Thanks

Research direction
Examine the SCM Graph implementation in vscode's Git extension. Locate where the graph view is rendered and how it currently switches manually. Explore adding an option to automatically switch the graph based on the active worktree or branch.
