Error when trying to diff a file when a patch was applied

Description

Cloned dwm and tried to apply a patch, a conflict occurred and I ran :VGit buffer_diff_preview to check what changed and fix the conflict, and the following error occurred.

[VGit] fatal: ambiguous argument ':./dwm.c': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
       Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
       'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

Steps:

$ git apply -3 patch.diff`
Conflict occured.
$ nvim dwm.c
run :VGit buffer_diff_preview

Info

nvim --version output: NVIM v0.9.0-dev-492+g224473546c
Operating system: Artix

Same issue here sometimes with any vgit command. Also noticed that the gutter signs aren't displayed when it occurs.

Exact same issue including the gutter only updating when the file is reopened.
