STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable the git plugin go to Settings > Configure Dolphin... > Services.
2. Open Dolphin and navigate to a git directory.


OBSERVED RESULT
The badges don't appear (99% of the time), and the right-click menu doesn't show the plugin-related options.
Open a new tab (or split-screen), and see the badge appear again in the newly opened window and also the related options.

EXPECTED RESULT
When opening a new instance of Dolphin and going to a git directory, the badges should appear.

I think the accurate description is this when opening a new Dolphin window and the location happens to be a git folder, it shows the badges normally. This could happen whether you open Dolphin from a git folder location, a new tab, or a split-screen. When opening Dolphin from a non-git location, the issue appears.

In my installation this problem occurs when Dolphin is opened from my home folder. If Dolphin is opened showing any other folder, I see the badges in a Git-controlled directory.
