I typically develop on Windows, but I've recently been using the new Visual Studio for Mac 2022 release, which has a "Git Changes" window. Whenever I open my git repository in VS, in the Git Changes window it will say something like "this directory doesn't contain a Git repository" and offers to initialize one for me (which of course does nothing). From Googling around, it seems to be a "safe directories" issue, which I can get around with adding the directory to safe directories in Git config. This isn't always respected though, and half the time it will only show if I go to Git -> Commit or Stash, and then it will realize I'm in a git repo.
The bigger issue is that it almost never shows me the local file of the diff, like in this picture. It seems to know that there is a diff though, as you can see it does say "2 lines removed" at the top. Sometimes, randomly, if I click around and change the views it will actually show the correct diff. But it's impossible to reproduce, it will just randomly decide to show it or not. I would say maybe 1 out of 20 times it will work.
It's also showed me incorrect information in the Git Changes window, such as saying I deleted 6 local files, but I didn't, and once when I double-clicked a "deleted" file in the window, it opened the correct diff! You can see it falsely flagging the files as being deleted here.
I've tried restarting my Mac without any luck, and I've messed with the file/directory permissions quite a bit but it has no impact on how VS acts. I couldn't find anything in the logs that seemed to mean anything. I also tried re-cloning the git repo and that didn't solve it either.
I also can't seem to find anyone else with this issue. I'm on the newest version of VS for Mac, with macOS 12.5.1.
Any ideas??
