[BUG] File History and Line History not working on repositories with multiple remotes

[jmevel]

Describe the Bug

When working on repositories with multiple remotes both Git: View File History and Git: View Line History commands do nothing. This is an issue on forks when one would want to keep their version up-to-date with the repository the fork will eventually be merged into. In that case we add a second remote and we rebase the latest history onto the branch of our fork we are working on.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Fork any git repository
2. On the forked repository, add the original repository as a second remote: git remote add upstream https://github.com/original-repo/goes-here.git
3. Open your fork in VS Code
4. Open the Output (Ctrl + Shift + U) and select Git History in the dropdown
5. Open any file
6. Open the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P)
7. Run the Git: View File History or the Git: View Line History command

Expected Behavior

• The editor is split
• On the right side appears either the Line History or the File History window
• A log similar to git log -L11,11:my-file.yaml --full-history --pretty=oneline --date-order --decorate=full --skip=0 --max-count=10 (completed in 0.365s) is shown in the Output window

Actual Behavior

• The editor is NOT split
• No Line History nor File History window appears
• No log is shown in the Output window

Environment

• OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19045 (will check on Linux too and update this ticket)
• VSCode version: Version: 1.86.2 (user setup) Commit: 903b1e9d8990623e3d7da1df3d33db3e42d80eda Date: 2024-02-13T19:40:56.878Z Electron: 27.2.3 ElectronBuildId: 26908389 Chromium: 118.0.5993.159 Node.js: 18.17.1 V8: 11.8.172.18-electron.0

So... I'm actually closing this ticket.

I thought multiple remotes was the root cause but it actually seems not. I still don't understand what is causing the issue on my repository then. It's working well on any other project I'm working on (all of them have a single origin remote).

But I tried to do the Steps To Reproduce and it's working...

EDIT: and now all of a sudden it works on the repository I had this issue. I did NOT modify any file, 1 minute ago it still wasn't working 🤔
