Descripción
`copilot --continue` is selecting sessions from the wrong repository.
It appears to key session selection *only* on the branch name.
Repro:
1. I have multiple repositories, each with an active Copilot CLI session.
2. All of them happen to use a branch named `main`.
3. I cd into **repo X** and run:
github copilot --continue
4. Instead of resuming the session associated with repo X, it resumes a session belonging to **repo Y**—apparently because both sessions were created while on a branch named `main`.
Expected behavior:
* Session lookup should prefer repo identity (e.g., full path, git remote, repo ID) over branch name.
* Branch names alone are not unique enough to disambiguate sessions.
Actual behavior:
* Session resolution appears to match on branch name only.
* This causes cross‑repo confusion whenever users have multiple repos with the same branch name—very common, especially for `main`.
Requested fix:
* Incorporate repository identity into session selection, not just branch name.
* Alternatively, prompt the user when multiple sessions match to let them pick the intended one.
If helpful, I can provide logs or session metadata from affected runs.
