Research direction

Start by reproducing the gd failure in the neogit diff popup, then trace the nil section access in neogit/lua/neogit/popups/diff/init.lua through neogit/process.lua and plenary/lua/plenary/async/async.lua. Determine whether the incompatibility belongs to plenary or neogit, and confirm the diff popup no longer raises the reported error.

How the error occured:
I was using the neogit plugin, and used the keybind 'gd' which should've opened the difference popup specific to that plugin, it's meant to mimick that functionality of the git command 'git diff'. Just to give context.

Thoughts:
I'm unsure whether this is a Neovim v0.11.1 issue, but I've never seen this issue before, and I believe it to be a compatibility issue with the aforementioned plugin.

Why place issue here and not on the 'neogit.nvim' repo?:
I don't know really to be completely honest. When looking at the paths displayed within the error, they point to plenary.nvim, not anything got to do with the neogit plugin. Or could possibly be due to an update with plenary that neogit itself must cater for instead.
