vscode: Git - diff decorators are not showing in the latest stable release

Copied from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/173226#issuecomment-1419425284

@Jason3S, could you please confirm that opening the same workspace yields different outcomes when you use VS Code Stable 1.74.3 and VS Code Stable 1.75 and VS Code Insiders 1.76. Just want to narrow down where the problem might be. Thanks!

I checked.

1.74.3 - works just fine.
1.75 VS Code Stable - has issues with git changes not showing.
1.76 Insiders - seem to be working.

I can reproduce the mercurial issue on Windows. I had tested with Ubuntu before.

Tl;dr: It’s an issue with Windows paths in the Mercurial extension that was exposed by my recent quick diff changes. Details: https://github.com/mrcrowl/vscode-hg/issues/198#issuecomment-1485067126

Ideally the folks over in https://github.com/mrcrowl/vscode-hg will make the fix there. Let’s wait a day and see what happens.

@alexr00,

The behavior in 1.75 was inconsistent. Sometimes it would not show up at all, not in the gutter or the scrollbar. Other times it would show up, but be the wrong color. Showing blue when it should be green.

I just now installed 1.75.1, I’ll see if it still happens and add some screen shots.
