Rethink ChangesViewer #7

Description

@tweak-wtf

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues and added correct labels.

Please describe the feature you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?

I can hardly think of a usecase where a user would want to checkout a specific commit prior to launching UE.
I'm also unsure about whether or not we should actually enable this in AYON ecosystem. IMHO a user that wants to checkout a specific CL would do so via p4 or p4v.

However a usecase that happens all the time is that a user wants to pull the latest changes which is currently not easily possible.

Suggested implementation?

I'd can think of 2 different approaches:

  1. keep the ChangesViewer as a way to checkout a specific CL but add a bool Sync Latest which should also per configurable via right-click context on the UE app in AYON Launcher
  2. remove ChangeViewer and replace it with a local prelaunch script that would only sync to latest which should also be configurable via right-click context on the UE app in AYON Launcher
