Description Robert Boehmer CLA 2021-10-29 09:52:36 EDT 
Created attachment 287400 [details]
Shows different views with commit-SHA

How to reproduce:
1) create a text file and commit in branch A
2) switch to different branch B
3) create file with same name and commit in branch B
4) open "Git Repositories" view, select branches A and B and trigger "Compare with Each Other"

Result: 
1) The text file exists only in A, not in B
2) The Text Compare pane shows the correct commit SHA for A, but the previous commit SHA for B.
