'git log' command returns nothing in terminal when using Python Extension

[Saltsmart]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

'git log' command returns nothing in integrated terminal (Command Prompt and Powershell are just the same) when using Python Extension.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a git repository in VSCode (Note it has commit history, and 'git log' should show something)
2. Open an intergrated terminal
3. Execute 'git log' command

Diagnostic data

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

``` # **Nothing here for this issue** ```

@Saltsmart can you share a screenshot of the whole window when you try to do this?

Here I have a workspace with two folders: batterynet and torchode. No matter VSCode opens the workspace or the batterynet folder, git log has no output:

Only when I disable Python extension and relaunch terminal, can git log produces output:

Here is the scene with Python extension disabled but without terminal relaunched:

Then the terminal has been relaunched:

Finally, re-enable Python extension and relaunch the terminal:

It is just the same to use PowerShell. In the case below, the Flake8 extension or other extension depending on Python could lead Reactivating Terminals, but the issue still happens without these extension:

This is mostly the matter with VSCode. It has nothing weird to execute git log command in Windows PowerShell:

Is there some command to clear the history (or cache) related to git in VSCode?

It's normal to use git log in other directories, even with all my Python-related extensions:

I think it may be caused by the cache, so I followed the steps in this blog to clear the cache, but nothing changes.

I have tried to delete the .git subfolder, re-init the repository, and rename this workplace and this folder, but nothing changes.

Will VSCode restore some information for the git repositories?
