Summary of Changes

• Registers a command to bind a command id under the namespace gitlens.views.branches
• Adds a command contribution to make it available in the Command Palette
• Registers an onCommand activationEvent
• Uses GitService and env to copy the name to clipboard

Background and Motivation

I love using GitLens and it works great when managing multiple repositories and multiple branches. Given the large number of branches in my repos, I would find it extremely convenient to have a command from the Command Palette that copies the name of the currently checked out branch. I do this so many times in a day in order to paste it in trackers and pull requests.

While this can be done using the copy command in the branchesView, it will save having to open that view and scroll through the hundreds of branches to find the one with the checkmark next to it.
