"Compare against previous version" doesn't work

[dodok8]

When I use VS code and gitHistory on git repository save in USB flash drive(F:), "Compare against previous version" doesn't work.
It returns error message like

git log --pretty=oneline 6a210d55a11636791bba18da0308527c462efc76^1 -n 1 -- C:\f:\study\PythonAlgorithmStudy\"Baekjoon\1328_\352\263\240\354\270\265 \353\271\214\353\224\251v1.py"  (completed in 0.318s)

Original file name is 1328_고층 빌딩v1.py.

Yeah issue #297 I opened it a month ago. For some reason everyone is having their project paths prepended with C: or /..

Compare against previous version" doesn't work for me too. I am on Windows VS Code 1.25.1 and it doesn't show me the changes done in the selected file and prints a message to Output as the "file is outside repository" which is incorrect as this worked completely fine after degrading my VS Code to 1.24.1 version. Hoping the fix at the earliest. Thank you in advance.

PR #316 has an unofficial release posted.
Would be really helpful to know if the PR also fixes this issue

[ZippoLee12138]

Same here

[JWleo]

it works on linux!

[ole1986]

@JWleo it would be good to know if th unofficial release from PR #316 also works for you.

By chance, can you test it?!

[JWleo]

@ole1986 Fine. I will tell you about the result after testing.

[JWleo]

@ole1986 yeah,Cool!!!!!! It works on window10 by using your VSIX file to update the office realese0.42. Thanks.
The office realese 0.42 is just fine on linux, so i don't need to install your VSIX file.

I am still facing this issue, is this already part of the current release?
