Git - diff editor cannot be opened while scanning for repositories

See original GitHub issue

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

VS Code Version: 1.72.2
OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

I can consistently reproduce the issue only for a specific repository (microsoft/vcpkg) but I highly doubt that it is reproducible elsewhere… Maybe it is worth noting that I didn’t use code with this repository for a long time.

The consequence is that I can’t look at diffs or history because they are loading a few minutes and work only if the spam stops at the git output.

Thanks! I will try to set up a repro and see if I am able to reproduce the problem.

Sounds great!

I think you should be able to reproduce the problem on any JS project with a large node_modules if you remove node_modules from git.repositoryScanIgnoredFolders and set git.repositoryScanMaxDepth to 5.
