Still shows "Select a file in the git repo to see timeline" after selecting a file in repository.

I tried all of the troubleshooting methods given in the readme file. I can also confirm that git-log is working perfectly in atom on my machine (Windows 10 64 Bit).

Here are some details:

• I have both the Github version of Git and the official version of Git installed.
• git/bin is in my PATH
• When I click on any file in the repository the timeplot never loads.

Here are my currently installed packages:
├── atom-django@0.3.2
├── atom-python-run@0.6.2
├── autocomplete-python@1.8.12
├── color-picker@2.2.3
├── file-icons@1.7.25
├── git-log@0.4.1
├── git-time-machine@1.5.4
├── linter@1.11.18
├── linter-flake8@2.1.3
├── minimap@4.25.7
├── minimap-autohide@0.10.1
├── multi-cursor@2.1.5
├── platformio-ide-terminal@2.2.2
├── python-debugger@0.1.0
├── python-indent@1.0.0
├── python-isort@0.0.7
├── python-tools@0.6.8
└── terminal-plus@0.14.5

I hope that was enough information. I'm looking forward to a fix since this is a useful package.

I can confirm this. I am also using the Git version, linked inside the readme (Win10 64-Bit also ..). Git-log is working, i added "C:\Program Files\Git\bin" to my path variables.

Selecting a file and calling git-time-machine:toggle results in "Select a file in the git repo to see Timeline" :(

Same here, also win10 64 bit...

Same on my Win10 laptop, despite it working fine on the Win10 laptop from my client.

Same issue win7 64 bit, disabled all added packages and issue persists.

Upon further testing, It works for a new repo i created but not for one i have been working with for a year plus. I have done a few commits in the new repo and have not broken it. I am not sure what is different between my two repos other than age.

Thoughts?

Seeing this on Mac OS Sierra as well.

UPDATE: In my case, the project root for the project in question was up a few levels so the .git was up a couple of directories - opened the project from where the .git file was, and everything worked properly.

Based on @mitchkramez information, I decided to give a few things a try. What I found makes me even more confused. If i copy my repo, drag and drop, from my flash drive to my desktop time machine works. Copy it back and it does not work. The other repo i have that does work is on my flash drive. I just don't understand.

UPDATE: I figured it out, at least for me! On my flash drive, the git repo needs to be in the root directory. I moved my repo from the gitrepo folder (E:\gitrepo\repo) to the root (E:\repo) and it works. I tested this in the C:\ and it seems C:\gitrepo\repo works just fine. I hope this makes sense to someone, it doesn't to me but at least it works.

Think I figured out a common issue -

Had this same issue at first where git log worked fine but timeline couldn't "Select a file in the git repo to see timeline" .

This issue appears to have been a space (" ") in my directory name:

C:\Local Repos\repo1 = Not Working
C:\Local_Repos\repo1 = Works!

Same issue here, no spaces in file path
