Allow guests to use source control diffing features in VS and VS Code #36

I see that this feature was released in https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/releases/tag/v0.3.1011 however the feature either isn't available, or it's unclear how to enable it. I don't see any configuration option to enable this. Do I need to (further) RTFM, or is this not working? |
@rojopolis We just realized that we forgot to move this feature out of the experimental stage. We're going to update this now and release a fix. In the meantime, if you set the |

Currently source control features like those found in the VS Team Explorer and the VS Code Source Control tabs do not function for guests joining a collaboration session as they rely on local files to work. In addition, source control diffing features suffer from similar problems regardless of where they are initiated.
We should consider doing the extra work required to allow guests to use source control diffing in VS and VS Code to help owners isolate issues if there is sufficient interest in the scenario.
