## Message

```
git_ui: Add setting to control default click behavior for git panel (#59649)

# Objective

The current behavior of the git panel is that when you click a file it
will open the multi-buffer view that shows all files with changes. If
you use CMD+Click or CTRL+Click, it will open the solo-file experience
where you only see the diff of the file you have selected. But, there is
no way to customize this behavior.

## Solution

This MR adds a setting that allows you to customize the default click
behavior. The alternate behavior will always be accessible via CMD+Click
or CTRL+Click.
