Commits of a new branch ignored first sync

[mgurov]

git checkout -b newBranch && echo a > a && git commit -a -m "first change"
Gitifier -> check now - nothing shown
echo b >> a && git commit -a -m "second change"
Gitifier -> check now - "second change" is notified about.

Gitifier seems to skip all the commits in new branches that happened before a sync.

Looking into the code, the sync is based on git fetch which doesn't give a range of revisions for new branches:

)
2012-04-09 13:46:07.241 Gitifier[2769:603b] command git fetch completed with output: From file:///Users/mgu/work/git-svn/git.repo
- [new branch]      newBranch2 -> origin/newBranch2```

a simple workaround could probably be to show a special notification when a new branch is created, optionally with some of its commits.
