Add Select for Compare/Compare with Selected to Commit Graph #4779

@eamodio

Description

@eamodio

The Commit Graph context menu does not include Select for Compare and Compare with Selected actions, requiring users to switch to tree views to perform comparisons.

Impact

Users working in the Commit Graph can compare any two refs directly from the graph without switching views, improving workflow efficiency for visual commit history exploration.

Validation

  1. Open the Commit Graph in VS Code
  2. Right-click on a commit, branch, stash, or tag
  3. Verify "Select for Compare" appears in the context menu
  4. Click "Select for Compare"
  5. Right-click on a different ref
  6. Verify "Compare with Selected" appears in the context menu
  7. Click "Compare with Selected"
  8. Confirm the comparison opens correctly in the Search & Compare view

Risk

Low – Adds new menu items and commands without modifying existing graph functionality.
