[Git 2.45] Reftable storage backend is not supported

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Steps to Reproduce

Git 2.45 is needed to reproduce this bug, since it makes use of the new reference storage backend "reftable".

Just clone a git repository with reftable used:

git clone --ref-format=reftable git@github.com:microsoft/vscode.git

Then open the new directory using VSCode. Git information (ie: the git branch) is not displayed correctly:

Cloning without reftable, of course, displays the Git information correctly:

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.91.1. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

@jaudiger, thanks for filing this issue. The latest VS Code Insiders (1.93) contains changes to support the new reftable storage format. I have done preliminary testing but I would really appreciate if you could download it and test the source control functionality and let me know if you see any other issues. Thank you!

I just downloaded the latest VSCode Insiders, and it worked like a charm! Thanks for the quick implementation landing inside VSCode!
