"Source Control" and "Run and Debug" Icons differ significantly from the original Codicons

I'm aware that this might be intended, but both the "Source Control" as well as the "Run and Debug" icons differ so much from the original, that I think it might be confusing for users. Especially the new "Source Control" icon is extremely similar to GitLens "File History" which I actually use in it's own Action Bar tab.

  • "Source Control": Original source-control, New
  • "Run and Debug": Original debug-alt, New

I believe that changing these icons to be more in line with the original icons will ease the transition to the (admittedly better looking) material icons, especially for longtime users of vscode.

I believe just switching to the extisting icons debug-alt and source-branch might do the job

Same opinion here, really efficient and accurate ticket

I agree with you, it might be confusing. So I changed it as suggested by you.
