Commit view broken with log.showSignature=true #4733
Description
Description
log.showSignatureset totruein global git config (eg~/.config/git/config)- Click on a file from a commit in the commit view in GitLens
- A tab opens with the error message “The editor could not be opened because the file was not found.”
- Set
log.showSignaturetofalse, repeat, observe the commit view opens correctly
This seems like a regression, being the same issue as #1363 (“Error 'Unable to open compare', when git setting log.showsignature is active”), which was apparently fixed a while ago.
The ‘filename’ shown in the tab when the error message is displayed reads like the signature has been accidentally grepped into the SHA/filename, eg:
<filename> (Good "git" signature for user@example.com with ED25519 key SHA256:XXXXXX...) ←→ <filename> (4b0b7f3)
Whereas, when log.showSignature is false, the tab ‘filename’ looks like:
<filename> (48d30ca) ←→ <filename> (4b0b7f3)
