Describe the improvement that you'd like
The "Open File" and "View Diff with Working File" actions on the file context menu in the Commit Details View both open the file in the Working Tree.

Currently, if the file was subsequently renamed, the extension treats it as if the file was deleted (as the historically known file path doesn't exist in the Working Tree).

If the file no longer exists in the repository, Git should be used to determine if the file has since been renamed, and if so, utilise the new name of the file when opening the file in the Working Tree.
