Description

Remember the selection of selected worktrees under the Source Control: Changes panel. This selection resets on restart, and I don't manage my worktrees from VSCode (nor would I feel the need to manage the staged changes of worktrees I'm not actively working in)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the Source Control view's worktree selection logic and identify where the selection state is held. Use VS Code's storage API (e.g., workspaceState or globalState) to persist and restore the selection on startup.
