Enhance edamagit status buffer to automatically update when git state changes occur outside of edamagit (e.g., via command line or VS Code source control). This improves the user experience by keeping the status display in sync with the actual repository state. Key Features: - Intelligent State Tracking: * Monitors meaningful changes in git repository state * Tracks working tree, index, and merge change counts * Updates only when status actually changes * Prevents unnecessary refreshes while ensuring accuracy - Selective File Watching: * Filters temporary and lock files * Carefully handles git internal files * Catches important changes (HEAD, refs) while ignoring routine ones * Prevents update loops from status refresh operations - Safe Update Management: * Skips updates during rebase operations * Safely handles merge states with lock file checks * Protects git config access during updates * Gracefully handles concurrent operations - Smart Debouncing: * Clusters rapid changes to prevent overwhelming updates * Maintains minimum interval between updates * Cancels pending updates when new changes arrive * Uses efficient timeout and timestamp tracking
