Describe the problem to be solved

be me
disorganised, collaborating with a bunch of people, firing apps at the internet like it was a competitive sport
abra app config <something>
abra app config <something-else>
abra recipe create, hack on it some, and slam some uncommitted stuff into the live .env file because why not
...
time passes
...
collaborators try and edit app configuration, redeploy apps after inevitable SSO / custom theme / $general_docker_breakage
things break
I delete my hard drive in a not-rare flourish of chaos
deployed configs are lost to history

Describe the solution you would like

We already have ｉｎｃｒｅｄｉｂｌｙｒｏｂｕｓｔ checking of the git status of recipe repositories in ~/.abra/apps.

What about:

Check if the server directory, e.g. ~/.abra/servers/demo.coopcloud.tech/, is a symlink, and find the target if so.
If not, check if the entire abra servers directory ~/.abra/servers is a symlink, and find the target of that if so.
(Future-brain: if not, then maybe check if the entire ~/.abra directory is a symlink, and read ｔｈａｔ?)
Wherever we've decoded the symlink to, do a git status on that folder (possibly with git's default terrifying behaviour of traversing up the entire directory tree to see if any parent directories are git repoitories..?)
If there are any uncommitted changes in said repository, give us a friendly warning (pls not an error, I am optimistic about my ability to change but not delusional), e.g. `that shit = ain't commit``

During, I guess, any app-involving abra operation?

I think #467 (comment) is maybe at odds with the approach proposed in this ticket. I think the warning would be a great feature if we can detect a git repository but #467 is proposing a much more automated approach. There could a dependency on finally doing #303 to allow different modes of collaboration to happen?
