I'm still seeing this issue, I disabled a recent extension which may have been the culprit. I disabled the extension, restarted VSCode, and found the same workspace now displaying my diffs as expected. The implicated extension is "MATLAB for Visual Studio Code". Some additional environment context is that I also use the Matlab 2018a desktop app which itself has a git interaction of its own. There may be some trouble with one or the other or both.

Update: I shut down Matlab, restarted visual studio, re-enabled the Matlab VSCode extension and eventually my git interaction began to go south where I'd see my proper diffs at startup but when I'd double click the entries no UI response would be had and the diff view would never load. I disabled the extension, restarted VSCode and now the Git diffs behave as expected. The fact that the Matlab app was out of the picture leads me to suspect a problem with the Matlab VSCode extension.
