Recent files is attempting to parse diff files as config files

[louis <louis obsidian com au>]

As below, code is current git HEAD

A workaround is to just try / except the config.read(path), but I'm guessing there's some issue with the logic further up. Once it starts dealing with GTK recent file objects it's a little out of my depth.

'"""\n'

<filename> is a file which was in a recently opened VC directory diff.

`items` in _filter_items() is a full list of all files which were in this diff, in 'file:///<filename>' format.
