Error when trying to view history of moved file

See original GitHub issue

When looking at the file history it actually shows these properly. The problem is when I try to select one of the entries before the file was moved, it tries to access the same file name but at the newest location. What I would expect to happen is it would try to open the file location of the selected commit (which should prevent this error).

Actually, just a note on this, after you mentioned Git: View History (git log). I tried there and when it lists the files there it does have the newest location displayed. This is fine I think, it also opens the file from Git: View History (git log) perfectly fine. I when I said it should “try to open the old location” I think I just don’t have a full understanding of how git stores old commits. Anyways, I am sure you can figure it out ^^. (Git: View File History still has a problem though)

As an aside note, I want to express my appreciation for your (any contributors) effort in maintaining this plugin. It is absolutely awesome and I can’t thank you all enough for it~

Should be fixed in the latest version. Please retest and open if the problem persists.
