## Message

```
git_ui: Add branch picker filter menu (#60857)

# Objective

Make branch filtering consistent and more flexible across the title bar
and Git panel branch pickers.

## Solution

- Replace the remote-only filter toggle with a dropdown for all, local,
and remote branches.
- Preserve the selected filter across branch picker instances.
- Add a ListFilter icon and active-filter indicator.
- Prevent nested filter-menu interactions from dismissing the parent
picker.
- Cycle through all, local, and remote filters with the existing
keyboard shortcut.

## Testing

- Ran `cargo check -p git_ui --tests --no-default-features`.
- Verified formatting with `cargo fmt -p git_ui`.
- Manually checked the filter dropdown from the title bar and Git panel.
