Why VSCode asks me to choose a repo when I try to commit git?

Question

Why VSCode asks me to choose a repo when I try to commit git?

When I press the "commit all changes" command, VSCode shows this:

prolife-cms is the project I'm working on

prolife-store is a project I'm not working on, I don't even open any files about from that project, why VSCode asks me about it? I just want to commit whatever in the project I'm working on.

Had the same issue when working on a multi repo workspace, enabling "Always Show Repositories" under VSCode settings solved this.

Steps:

1. Go to File > Preferences > Settings (or Code > Preferences > Settings for macOS)
2. Go to User > Features > SCM
3. Check/Turn on the option "Always Show Repositories"
