"No repository" on any Git repository

[vuplea]

• GitHub Extension for Visual Studio version: 2.11.106.19330
• Visual Studio version: 16.10.3

Open any solution in a git repo, and will see this:

Some context:

• Git integration in VS is enabled and works
• When adding a new project to source control while pushing it to Github, then the extension appears to work until VS restart. After VS restart, "No repository"
• This is the error in the log file
