Feature request: ability to view deleted file contents

[warpdesign]

When opening View History (git log), selecting a commit, and chosing a file that was modified, you get the ability to compare the file with the previous version.

However, if the file was removed in this commit, you do not get the ability to view the previous version of the file (ie: before it was deleted). It would be great if this was possible, just to check what you deleted.

Will fix in the next version apologies for the delay.

Hi, in the same line, it would also make sense to be able to view the content of files which have been added.

Would be really useful to see added/deleted files content

Hi, @DonJayamanne , it's been a year and a half so I wanted to check if there's something akin to this feature available. Is there any way to see the contents of a file that's been deleted? It doesn't have to be via the "log" interface, I really just want the equivalent of git show old-branch:path/to/deleted/file inside of VSCode.

Changing this to a bug, as it seems basic functionality.
