Git Commits view not showing in VSCode Source Control panel

Problem:

When I open the Source Control panel in VScode, normally I am able to see any diffs and at the bottom of the panel I can open/close various tabs such as Commits, Branches, Remotes etc. These tabs have all disappeared for a specific repo.

Here is how it should look:

• The tabs are available at the bottom of the panel
• I am able to select/unselect which tabs to show from the three dot menu
  

However, they are not showing on this specific repo. Here's how it looks on the repo in question:

1. I can't see the tabs at the bottom of the panel
2. I am unable to show/hide them from the three dot menu

Notes:

• I have checked VScode settings and both the user and workspace settings are exactly the same
• A git repo exists in this directory (the tabs used to show fine)
• I do not want to do this from the command line

It was down to not having Gitlens enabled in the workspace 😬
