Remember open files for each git branch and restore upon checkout

[mbonaci]

Issue Type: Feature Request

I keep switching branches while working back and forth between features/issues, so I keep closing/opening tabs and it's becoming a bit tedious.

It would be nice for each git branch to keep its own split-window + open tabs/files "configuration".
Upon git checkout my-branch, WSCode would restore to the state when I last left that branch.

I was hoping this will be covered by the Workspaces feature, but doesn't seem so.

Would it be possible to do this using an extension?

Thanks for the feedback.
