Thanks @samhvw8! This is a bigger PR so I want to spend a little time with it to make sure I understand the proposed changes deeply. I'm currently travelling though, so it might take a little while. Thanks for your patience!

Perfect system how can i enable this version on my pc ?

I love the idea of adding various git-related information to the @mentions, similar to what Cursor has: https://docs.cursor.com/context/@-symbols/@-git

As for the git-related tools - should that just be covered with a git MCP server for people who are interested?

Thanks for your reply,

Cursor has convenient @mentions tools that we can use as a reference for our implementation.

As for the git-related tools - should that just be covered with a git MCP server for people who are interested?

Could we implement this directly into cline? If we separate it into MCP, it would depend on models to process MCP correctly, and it could make the system prompt longer when there are too many git tools.

I thought all of the models could handle MCP through Cline, and that it wouldn't turn out to be any different than what you added to the system prompt in this PR (and would only be added to the system prompt for people who choose to enable the git MCP).

@samhvw8 would you be up for splitting out a PR specifically focused on adding git support to the @mentions while we continue to discuss the tools aspect? Thank you!!
