Easily revert deleted files during PR reviews

[jonny-harte]

When reviewing a Pull Request in VSCode I often find files that have been deleted by mistake and need to undone/restored. At the moment the only way I can find to do so is to create a new file with the same name in the same location and then copy the content from the diff view back into the file and commit and push to undo the change in the PR.

Is there a better way to do this or can a revert option be added when right clicking on the file in the Changes in Pull Request view?

There is currently no way to do this, but it makes sense as a feature request!

Thanks @alexr00 for confirming! Yes please, I think this would be a great thing to add as at the moment its quite time consuming to undo file deletes during a review

I think it should just be 'revert changes to file' instead of 'restore deleted file'. Effectively they're the same, but first one is more broad. I've found myself opening diff of files and copying old file to new one, but it would be nice to select multiple files and click revert.
