Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: N/A
- VS Code Version: 1.94.2
- OS Version: Windows 10
I noticed Git goes crazy whenever I build Chromium. It shouldn't be because I'm not running any Git-related tasks while this is happening, it takes up a lot of CPU. I noticed this older issue: #177773
I follow the same steps mentioned here and looked at the trace output.
It looks like every time the build generates a new file in the out
directory it triggers the git extension to run git status
again. I think I've managed to calm it down a bit by setting "git.autorefresh": false,
, you can see the output below.
Output:

Despite it skipping this still looks like a bug, the out
directory is in my gitignore so it shouldn't be doing anything on changes within this directory at all anyway. Should there be logic added to here to not trigger git commands if the file changes are in an ignored repository?
Using autorefresh false
is a workaround to the problem but not a proper solution as I do want git to update when genuine files have changed. Maybe either the git extension should be fixed, or the built-in workspace watcher has a config to not watch ignored folders.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Load Chromium in VS Code
- Build Chromium
- Git activity goes super high in task manager (parent process being VS Code)
