Issue description

If you try to change the current repository (like changing the current submodule) while the current git tree is generating ("Loading" tooltip shown at the top / right), the treeview (submodule) is updated but the git tree is not updated (even when the loading step is done).

Image

You can see that the treeview show my project "web-dev" and the git tree show llvm submodule.

Steps to reproduce

Create an empty repository. Add a huge submodule (llvm / gcc / linux kernel). Open the empty repository with git extension Switch to the huge submodule. While the loading tooltip is shown at the top / right of the git tree, switch to the root repository.

Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions?
