This bug only seems to be happening for projects with multiple repos. I haven't been able to use View File History lately. I started using other functions of the extension

As it's explained in the bug report:

I eventually figured out that I need to first use View History (git log) and choose the repo. Then, the other 2 commands work

So, try to use first View History and then try again with ViewFileHistory

There is also a older bug report with the same issue, where the workaround to fix it seems to be:

Uninstall the extension
remove the directory from C:\Users\ue.vscode\extensions (for windows)
Close VS code and reopen the vs code
Install extension again and we are good to go
