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:

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!

We should be handling this case better regardless. Sorry for the issue.
