Description
When opening Neogit as an after config command from the shell as nvim +Neogit and try to open a file with pressing
<CR> when over it, one gets the error:
E5108: Lua: vim/_editor.lua:0: nvim_exec2(), line 1: Vim(sbuffer):E86: Buffer 2 does not exist
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'nvim_exec2'

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening Neovim with nvim +Neogit, selecting a file with <CR>, and capturing the buffer error. Start with lua/neogit/lib/buffer.lua around lines 230 and 745, then inspect lua/neogit/buffers/status/init.lua around line 237 and actions.lua around line 1243. Done means opening the file no longer reports that Buffer 2 does not exist.
