Reinier Millo Sánchez c3cf80c0d1 git_ui: Fix 'Go Back' skipping the Git Graph view (#63597)
# Objective

- "Go back" behaved inconsistently when navigating from the Git Graph
view: opening a commit diff (double-click on a commit) and then using
"Go Back" would not return to the Git Graph — instead it jumped to
whatever file was open before the Git Graph was opened.
- Fixes #63293

## Solution

- `GitGraph`'s `Item` implementation never hooked into the pane's
navigation history (missing `deactivated` / `set_nav_history`), unlike
every sibling diff view (`CommitView`, `ProjectDiffEditor`,
`MultiDiffView`, `BranchDiff`). Because of this, when a commit diff was
opened on top of it, deactivating Git Graph never pushed an entry onto
the pane's back-stack, so "Go Back" skipped straight past it to the
previously active file.
- Added a `nav_history: Option<ItemNavHistory>` field to `GitGraph` and
implemented `set_nav_history`/`deactivated` to push a nav-history entry
when the Git Graph tab is deactivated, matching the pattern used by
other `git_ui` diff views.

## Testing

- Added `test_go_back_from_commit_view_returns_to_git_graph` in
`crates/git_ui/src/git_graph.rs`, which opens a file, then Git Graph,
then a commit diff, and asserts that `Pane::navigate_backward` returns
to the Git Graph view rather than the file.
- Verified the test actually catches the regression by temporarily
reverting the fix and confirming the test fails, then restoring the fix
and confirming it passes.
- `cargo test -p git_ui --lib git_graph::` — all 28 tests pass.
- `./script/clippy -p git_ui` — clean, no warnings.

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
