Improved: "Diff with Branch" search now uses IntelliJ's standard fuzzy matcher (MinusculeMatcher), so abbreviated inputs like ori/allidfcsit or oriallidfsit correctly match origin/allmerge-idfc-sit. Matching also feels consistent with Search Everywhere and Goto File.
Improved: Filtered branches are now ranked by match quality, so the closest match appears at the top of each group instead of plain alphabetical order.
New: Pin frequently-used branches to the top of the popup via right-click → "Pin to Top" / "Unpin". Pinned branches appear in a new "Pinned" group at the top of the tree, with a yellow star icon visible anywhere the branch is shown.
New: "Recent" group now tracks the last 3 branches you actually picked in the popup (most recent first), replacing the prior behaviour of always showing only the current branch.
New: origin/allmerge is pinned by default on first use of the plugin in a project. Unpin it at any time and the choice persists.
Fix: Search highlights now render correctly for remote branches when the query targets the full ref (e.g. ori/allidfsi or oriallidfcsit against origin/allmerge-idfc-sit). Previously the row would appear in the filtered list but the matched characters would not be highlighted because the renderer only matched against the short branch name.
