Create New Codespace fails if the current repo was cloned using SSH #159287

Was trying to verify #158384

  1. I installed the github remote repos, and the remote repos extension as I did not have those on desktop
  2. I tried to find Edit Sessions but couldn't. However, with Edit sessions disabled there is a sign into edit sessions entry (first confusion)
  3. I found the setting and enabled edit sessions and tried to create an edit session inside a codespace and was prompted with this
    image git status reported no issues finding the repo name or owner. Nothing was really special about this repository (second confusion).
  4. Figured it might need a reload because this is my first time enabling this settings. So I reload and am prompted with
    image which is extra bizarre because I was just told in step 3 that my edit session failed to create. This is a scary message but clicking yes seems to not do anything (third confusion).
  5. So codespaces doesn't seem to work with edit sessions, so just for exploration I try insiders.vscode.dev it opens at least with the correct repo, but I'm shown this sign in prompt
    image not sure why it thinks I'm signed in with my Microsoft.com email as on desktop I signed in with GitHub and I've only ever signed into vscode.dev with GitHub to view GitHub repositories (fourth confusion).
  6. I choose sign in with GitHub and 🥁 🥁.... my changes aren't there ☹️. Not really sure what to do at this point or if I missed a step in using this feature, I just enabled edit sessions made a local change without staging or committing it and tried to open it somewhere else. (fifth confusion).

Hope this issue helps in some way let me know if I can collect any further diagnostics or if I'm missing a big step in this feature as this is my first time using it
