Description
**Describe the bug**
Edit action should while checking previous commit hashes with deleted files
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Go to the Log view
2. Select any past commit with deleted files
3. Select a file reported as deleted
4. Invoke the Edit action
The editor should open showing the contents of the deleted file (as it does for files not deleted), but instead "file not found" error is presented.
