git lfs support

First of all: Great extension! 👍 I am searching for good (git) image differs since a while and think there is a need (#doc-as-code).

Looks like the extension cannot handle images stored with git lfs.

Clicking on a png-file in git changes view shows: Image missing or failed to load, which is pretty right, since the file is then text.

Howdy 🤠
Thanks for the appreciation.

I assume the built in viewer handles lfs files just fine?

That's right.

I've started looking into this
Apparently git config diff.lfs.textconv cat makes it so that git gives you back the binary files. Diffs take a second to load but it enables this extension to work better.
Meanwhile looking into a proper solution

I can confirm this setting let the diff being shown properly in vscode.

git config command as specified stores locally in the repo in .git/config (when not specified with option --system)

So

git config diff.lfs.textconv cat

does the trick. Thanks @raywiis !
