v4.1.0 Open repository button, bug fixes, enhancements

This update adds several important features including a new button the toolbar to easily switch to the source code repository. (i.e. GitHub Desktop, Sourcetree, etc...) Special thanks to @bclothier for his extensive work on command bar support, and @hecon5 for contributing a number of bug fixes. @josef-poetzl shared a tip that solved a long-standing issue with complex workarounds. Thanks, everyone that had a part in this release!
