I think the obvious thing that VSCode could've done to avoid this disaster was moving files to recycle bin instead of deleting permanently on discard. You or OP might say why would the behavior of a Linux tool like git move to recycle bin? Well, TortoiseGit on Windows (git client) (or even going as far back as TortoiseSvn) will always move files to recycle bin when you discard changes. If they can, there's very little excuse why VSCode can't. There is also very little maintenance overhead for a user. Once in a while you notice your recycle bin isn't empty and you go and empty it.
