File change by version control not detected

[PeterN]

When switching git branches within VS Code, scss files changed during this process are not automatically recompiled.

Possibly comes under out-of-scope as per #210, although in this case it is all within VS Code.

So, I assume that the compiled CSS files are excluded on branches then... damn 😂

Unless there is something I can listen out for and respond to, I'm afraid not. From my checks I could not find anything that is triggered during a branch change that I can listen out for and respond to.

If there was, I could have a new setting that users specify the commands/actions/etc. that I should listen for to trigger compilation.

Don't know if you want to have a rummage around too, just in case I missed something.

I'll keep this open for now, while I do some digging myself (with any spare time I get). As soon as I have more details, I'll respond and proceed from there.

PS, sorry for the delay

Seems like the extension/component has an API with an event for state changes.

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/extensions/git/src/api/git.d.ts#L284

I'd like this component to be quite flexible so that any extension can cause compilation if it has an event method. I'd have to sit and think about this. Maybe a custom JS file in the .vscode folder that the extension looks for and loads 🤷though this would require JS knowledge from the user
