Error - can no longer see Git Commit Graph with gitlens
Description
The error message has persisted for several weeks now, and I would very much like to be able to see and interact with the graph again:
An error occurred while loading view: gitlens.views.graph

Can you please enable debug logging by running the GitLens: Enable Debug Logging command from the Command Palette (F1 or ctrl/cmd+shift+p). This will enable logging to the GitLens & GitLens (Git) channels in the Output pane.
Once enabled, please reproduce the issue, and attach the logs from the GitLens and GitLens (Git) channels.
Thank you!
I would also suggest restarting vscode if you haven't and uninstalling/re-installing GitLens. We've seen some (rare) issues where the installation gets corrupted on upgrade for some reason.
Looking over the GitLens logs, this error appears:
Error: Displaying worktrees requires a newer version of Git (>= 2.17.0) than is currently installed (2.16.0). Please install a more recent version of Git and try again.
Seems that git 2.16 is installed in the path where 2.17 should be, I have contacted our HPC admin for assistance with this. If we fix our git versioning and the problem persists, I will reopen this.
Thank you!
Updated situation: I spoke with HPC admin and now when I use which git it returns that I am using git 2.49.0
From the Gitlens (Git) error logging, I see this:
Error: fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
Usually this error comes when current working directory is not a valid git repo, but I have no difficulty using git in the command line in my current working directory. Reloading the window does not seem to help with this.
From the GitLens error logging, I still see this:
Error: Displaying worktrees requires a newer version of Git (>= 2.17.0) than is currently installed (2.16.0). Please install a more recent version of Git and try again.
Using which git and git version both indicate that I am using version 2.49.0 - so there's some kind of mismatch happening here?
Please advise for how to debug. Thanks in advance!
