Feature: Unapply changes without losing lane?

[intel352]

I'm using Gitbutler with a Terraform repository, so that I can group my changes by a reference module, logical group, etc, to make PRs easier to review.

But with Terraform, you need to be able to see a plan of pending changes to your cloud resources. Sometimes I want to be able to show the changes expected from lane 1, changes expected from lanes 1 & 2, and then changes expected from lanes 1, 2, and 3.

Currently I'm unable to achieve this with Gitbutler. What I basically have to do then is switch to each lane's branch, plan changes, switch again, plan changes, but that doesn't let me see aggregate/combined changes of multiple lanes, and is toilsome.

Just having the ability to unapply a lane (but keep the lane for management) so that the changes are not active in the current workspace but can be easily reactivated, would do wonders.

If this ability already exists, I think I'm missing it somehow?

Thank you for sharing your workflow! I see how being able to unapply a lane, but to keep it visible, can help with this and I think what we are cooking up may be able to address this. Also, I will keep it in mind. CC @krlvi who knows much better than me.
