Git: "Stage selected ranges" command changes encoding to UTF-8

[ErikSteiner]

Type: Bug

Very similar to the vscode issue 36219.

1. Create a new project folder and place there an empty file.txt
2. Open this folder with VSCodium and open the file.txt
3. Insert two German words. One word in each row, like "Hallo" and "Straße" for street
4. Do not save it yet, at the bottom right select "Select encoding" by clicking the UTF-8 text and select "Save with Encoding"
5. Navigate to "Source Control" and click "Initialize Repository"
6. In the category "Changes" do not stage the file all at once, but select those two lines and make sure, that the encoding is set to "ISO 8859-2". Commit those two additions with an initial commit.
7. Add another row to the file, with another German word like "Änderungen" (changes) and use the "Stage selected ranges" again. As soon as the word "Änderungen" is staged, the second row with the word "Straße" is also highlighted for a change.

In fact, the worst thing about this is, that with each line staged that contains German umlauts, the words on the left become more and more incorrect. Thus, with each staged word, street becomes straĂe, then straĂeĂe, then straĂeĂeĂeĂe. In some cases, so many cryptic characters are added per German word with umlauts that at some point, VSCodium indicates it can no longer compare the two files. The left side virtually explodes from the characters.
