@deepak1556 That I’m not sure of, I don’t have a mac to test it out on, but I didn’t see anything (looking through the Electron issues) about any sort of path normalization – so I would guess it would still be present.
It might be best to split what my users are seeing vs this issue about portable. My users are experiencing issues caused by the different volume layout on Catalina vs previous macOS versions. See https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/issues/800#issuecomment-516682411
