Make opening git editor always in current window

[kvart714]

Type: Bug

Hello Sorry if it's a duplicate. But I didn't find anything about this issue in github and google search. maybe i just have the wrong configuration

I actively use vscode. Sometimes I have up to 10 instances open on different desktops. Also vscode is set as git editor by default. So I press git commit amend or git rebase interactive or squash or something else that requires actions in the git editor. The file opens (eg COMMIT_MESSAGE). But it never opens in the current VSCode window! Instead, the focus jumps to another VSCode instance (which I think was opened first). It can be on a different monitor, on a different virtual desktop, or even minimized. It's terribly annoying.

@bpasero, is this something that you initially implemented? If so, do you mind chiming in? Thanks!

Maybe try to configure code-insiders --wait -r which instructs it to reuse the last focused window.
