"StrictFilePathMarshaler must be used on a FilePath" error #14

Description

@deadlydog

The following error was reported on the VS Marketplace:

Trying to use this. When I select a changed file and click Unstaged (or All Files), I get:
Unexpected Error Occurred:
StrictFilePathMarshaler must be used on a FilePath.
V15.2(26430.16) Release.
Diff All Files v1.0.1
By dale 8/8/2017

I've experienced this problem in the VS 2015 version of the Diff All Files, but not the VS 2017 version, so it will still need to be investigated. In VS 2015 this error was thrown from the gitlib2sharp library, and the workaround was to re-clone the repository (to a different directory, or delete your current directory and re-clone). I'm not sure if that workaround will work in VS 2017 or not though, so if we could get confirmation on that it would be nice.

We still need to see if there's some way we can have Diff All Files handle this error more gracefully, and ideally have additional logic in code to get it working without the user having to re-clone the Git repository.
