Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

If you launch zed from a subfolder inside a git repo, then all the git markings do not appear.

Thus, you can no longer see the git diffs or any of the other things such as what file has been modified (in the project panel), or the name of the branch (in the top bar) and so on.

These things are visible only if you launch zed from the root of the repo where .git resides basically. But I think it would make sense for this to not be the case

Environment

Zed: v0.129.1 (Zed) OS: macOS 14.3.1 Memory: 16 GiB Architecture: aarch64

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature

The same file, if I launch from the root of the repo, it works.

If applicable, attach your ~/Library/Logs/Zed/Zed.log file to this issue.

@JosephTLyons I'm trying to pick this as my first contribution. Can someone point me where to look at. I can basically see that the path is not considered if there isn't a .git file in the opened folder root.
