[Bug] Fix opening from a commit

Description

From this thread:

How do I open files from a commit hash ?

Select a commit hash, browse to a file and then select "open in Web IDE" on the file. IDE fails to load the file/directory.

Implementation plan

  • When opening from a branch, we end up using the underlying commit sha most of the time anyways.
  • We already have the concept of an "empty branch" (see relevant LOC). Maybe we can leverage this same place to have a "pending branch" or "sha-only ref".
