minor usability nitpick

Hey all, I ran into something mildly annoying in the commit view of the github plugin. When I stage the hunks for a file, the "Unstaged Changes" tab turns into a regular file tab. If I'm crushing some diff hunks to make a commit, I'd like it to display the unstaged changes for the next file in the list.

Yeah, we've run into a few cases where the current workflow is less than idea (including mine :D) but not a clear solution on the most ideal fix, mostly because it's not clear exactly what the user wants to do next in all cases. E.g., another thing you can't do in the current case is undo a discard because the diff view closes.

One proposed idea we're exploring is to keep the diff view open after the last hunk is staged, showing an "empty" view (#606 (comment)). From there we could offer a nice UI with a keybind to move to the next file in the list. How does that sound?

I think that'd work for me 👍

Since the solution here is the same as in #606 I'm gonna close this and track it there ^_^ Thanks!
