Pull request overview
This PR adjusts the Git extension’s repository opening behavior so that the git.openRepository command actually opens the selected repository instead of treating it as a parent-only repository, addressing microsoft/vscode-internalbacklog#6655.
Changes:
- Extended
Model.openRepositoryto accept a newopenIfParentflag that bypasses the “parent repository” handling when appropriate. - Updated the
git.openRepositorycommand to callmodel.openRepositorywithopenIfClosedandopenIfParentset totrue, ensuring that explicitly opened repositories are fully opened even if they live in parent folders.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| extensions/git/src/model.ts | Adds an openIfParent parameter and uses it to skip the parent-repository special handling when explicitly requested. |
| extensions/git/src/commands.ts | Updates the git.openRepository command to pass openIfClosed=true and openIfParent=true so the chosen repository is always opened as a normal repo. |
