Description
Hi,
I just made the jump from GitAhead to Gittyup (and to Qt 5.15 !) ; it is so nice seeing this software taking a new life !
The new filelist/diff/blame interface seems promising but currently it appears to have a bug : initially, no file/folder is selected, which means that no diff gets displayed at all. I can click on the topmost folder to see the while diff of a commit, but it will unselect when I switch to a commit that applies to a different folder. It is also not easy to show the whole diff if the commit impacts several subfolders of the repo (see screen capture).
I think a simple way to solve this would be to have the filelist have an element for the root of the repo, containing everything, and having that element activated by default.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the double tree view: switch between commits with changes in different folders while no file is selected. Trace the filelist selection and diff display behavior; done means the full commit diff remains visible by default and can be shown across multiple affected subfolders.
