Change session when branch changes

[GuillaumeLagrange]

Hello

First of all, thank you for this very efficient plugin.
My workflow includes this plugin with this config

autoload = true
autosave = true
use_git_branch = true

It works almost perfectly, with the small inconvenience that when I check out a new branch, the "currently opened session" is still the session of the old branch.

I have looked into the source code and started thinking about how I would implement session changing (either automatically or by proposing it to the user with a dialog), and have a few ideas. I was looking for a small PR to start honing my lua skills and I think this is it.

I am making this post to make sure the feature is something that looks reasonable to other people than myself 😅
We could also include a config option to enable this feature and have it disabled by default.

Thanks in advance

I think this would be a great idea and I'd be totally open to the idea. I'm not sure how much of this feature would reside within the plugin though. Assuming you execute a Lua function to switch branches, you could call SessionLoad or require("persisted").load().

I've tried to keep this plugin as simple as possible so generally not keen on any user dialogs.

Thank you for the fast response. I usually checkout from another terminal, so calling the load function would not really fix my problem.

I'll try to come up with something clever and open a PR which keeps the plugin as simple as it already is.

Worst case scenario I will just come up with a user callback that does what I want.
