Extension never loads on folder synced to GIT

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.30.0
• Extension version 2018.12.1
• OS and version: Windows 7
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.6.6
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): N/A
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: N/A

Expected behaviour

Open Python file and Python extension loads.

Actual behaviour

I am opening a Python file under a folder that is cloned from a Git repo. The “Python Extension Loading” message appears forever in the bottom. If I run as Administrator, it loads immediately. If I open a regular Python file that is not in the Git repo, it loads immediately. I’m using Git for Windows to do my cloning/checkouts.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Clone a Git repository
2. Open a Python file that is versioned. If it does not load, open as administrator.

Logs

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

N/A - No output

Output from Console under the Developer Tools panel (toggle Developer Tools on under Help)

Sorry for the delay - This is so across the board that I can’t reliably even submit a debug log. I just upgraded to Windows 10 the other day and so far, it seems like it’s working. I’m going to close this because it’s so inconsistent, but I’m sure it’s related to my particular setup here. Thank you for the help and I absolutely love the extension - top notch!

Awesome, looking forward to seeing the result - I hope we can sort out a way to better notify the user of an issue, if not provide a way to fix the problem altogether.
