Description

The git-ai VSCode extension fails to detect and display git notes information when VS Code is opened with a workspace root that is not a git repository (e.g., a multi-folder workspace containing multiple git repositories).

Environment

Extension Version: 0.1.16
VS Code Version: 1.109.0 (Universal)

Steps to Reproduce

Create a workspace directory structure:

/workspace/                    (Workspace root - NOT a git repo)
├── project-a/                 (Git repository)
│   ├── .git/
│   ├── .git/refs/notes/git-ai (Contains git notes)
│   └── src/
│       └── main.rs
└── project-b/                 (Another git repository)
    └── .git/

Open VS Code with /workspace/ as the root directory
Open a file from project-a/src/main.rs
Observe that git-ai blame information is not displayed in the gutter
