Display blank when simpleStaging is enabled

[rdelubi]

I'm using jupyterlab-git extension. In default mode (where simpleStaging is false), everything is displayed properly.

When I change the simpleStaging to true, the jupyterlab-git extension section displays blank. Please see screen snapshot below.

My setting:
Jupyterlab 2.1.2
@jupyterlab/git v0.20.0 enabled OK

Note that I tried restarting the jupyter notebook server instance after changing the setting to true, it didn't make any difference.

@rdelubi Can you open up your browser developer console and see if there are any relevant errors displayed?

[rdelubi]

There are error in developer console as seen in snapshot below.

@rdelubi what version of Git do you have installed? The root cause of several similar errors has been having a Git version < 2

git --version

Oh wait. I spoke too soon, I see that everything works properly when you are not in simple staging 🤔
