open editor running inside vscode is broken

[extrawurst]

it simply shows an empty file:

opening same file through running gitui in terminal works.
the editor functionality to edit commit messages is not affected.

related to #173

The path at the bottom of Vim looks correct. But it does say New DIRECTORY, which might be a clue. (I think Vim shows New DIRECTORY if you "open" a non-existant location.

Could it be that VS Code somehow sets a different work directory for vim, than the repository root? And that way vim tries to open a different location?

Ok it actually turns out not to be limited to vscode, simply run gitui in a subfolder of your repo and it will stop working
