Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Git 2.45 is needed to reproduce this bug, since it makes use of the new reference storage backend "reftable".

Just clone a git repository with reftable used:

git clone --ref-format=reftable [email protected]:zed-industries/zed.git

Then open the new directory using Zed. Git information (ie: the git branch) is not displayed:

Environment

Zed: v0.144.0 (Zed Preview) OS: macOS 14.5.0 Memory: 16 GiB Architecture: aarch64

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

Cloning without reftable, of course, displays the Git information correctly:

If applicable, attach your Zed.log file to this issue.
