调研方向
Start by tracing how the main UI and file tree panel handle the generic “Error loading tree preview” state for repositories with no commits or files. Confirm how an empty default branch is represented, then ensure both surfaces show a clear empty-repository message without sync or error guidance; verify the result with an empty repository.

描述
Feature Description
When a repository is empty, Sourcebot currently displays a generic error such as "Error loading tree preview". This can confuse users by making it seem like there is a problem with syncing or an internal error, when in reality the repository is simply empty.
Proposed improvements:
- Detect when a repository is empty (no commits or no files in the default branch).
- Display a clear, user-friendly message in the main UI and file tree panel, like "This repository is empty".
- Ensure no misleading error states or sync suggestions are shown when a repo is simply empty.
- Optionally, provide a hint for users to initialize the repository if it is empty.
Benefits:
- Prevents user confusion about repo sync issues or technical errors.
- Communicates the actual repo state, improving clarity and onboarding.
- Aligns Sourcebot UX with GitHub's behaviour for empty repositories.
User Story
As a user viewing a repository with Sourcebot, if the repo is empty, I want to see a clear message that the repository is empty, so I don't think there's an error or bug syncing the repo.
