Hi, @kemayo

I see you have merged #524. @vanrijn said it might help for #491 but it actually doesn't.

see my reply in #524

Thank you for your work. But the #496 can not be solved by this change. I pull your commit and test failed.

As my said at #496, active view is changed and the new view window can not get the file path. That means it is too late to get the git root path. At the moment, self.active_file_path() and window.folders()[0] are both None. It is no way to get git root path back again.

The solution is to get the git root path before creating new scratch view, and then store the git root path into new view.

I sincerely hope you can take the time to look at my problem and try to merge it.

Thanks
