The git for-each-ref that is being executed is not related to the “Tags” window but it is one of the git commands that is being executed to keep the data model up-to-date. In the upcoming release of VS Code we have made some changes so that some of the core operations in the Source Control view (ex: stage, un-stage, discard changes, commit) optimistically update the state of the view before the data model is updated. That is the first steps in our effort to make the Source Control view snappier with more improvements on the way.

Same for me on a large project: 22s

2022-12-05 13:52:09.824 [info] > git for-each-ref --sort -committerdate --format %(refname) %(objectname) %(*objectname) [22716ms]

If I run the command externally it is taking the same time to execute it but the project has more than 12k tags So if we can disable the tag window that I am not using, this will be great hiding the tag views is not solving the issue
