Files changes not recognized on Git branch without manual intervention

[prryplatypus]

Issue Type: Bug

When making a change to any file in the project it doesn't show up in the Source Control tab on the left sidebar, unless I close and reopen VS Code or manually click on "Synchronize Changes". In addition, changed files are no longer shown on a different colour, even after manually synchronizing changes or closing and reopening VS Code. Autorefresh option is enabled. Happens with all extensions disabled too.

Possible duplicate of #101493, but submitting a new issue as instructed by @joaomoreno.

VS Code version: Code 1.46.1 (cd9ea6488829f560dc949a8b2fb789f3cdc05f5d, 2020-06-17T21:13:20.174Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.18363

Edited file content, saved, waited for 30 seconds. No output at all other than:

Log level changed to: Trace

After clicking on "synchronize changes", this was the output:

Is H: a network share?

[prryplatypus]

Negative. It’s a secondary drive in my machine.

I have the same issue.

vscode version: 1.46.1 git version: 2.27.0.windows.1

I installed the git for windows portable versión. https://git-scm.com/download/win

The install path is E:\public\git-portable E:\ is a physical drive,

I added this to settings.json

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "E:\\public\\git-portable\\bin\\bash.exe",
"git.path": "E:\\public\\git-portable\\bin\\git.exe"

By editing a file the output is the next.

After click the refresh button.

The changes in the source control are now showing.

@nepetadosmil Can you reproduce in other repositories?

[prryplatypus]

I could reproduce it with all other repositories I tried indeed. Anyway, I have not changed anything in my system or in my settings and it seems to be working perfectly again. I am clueless as to why this happened for a few days right after updating to the latest version and without me changing anything it suddenly started working again.

Thanks for your help. Please let me know if I can provide you with any more information.

P.D.: Leaving the issue open since I am 100% sure nothing changed in my system and I seem to not be the only one who has experienced this issue. Feel free to close if necessary.

I'm having this same problem:

When making a change to any file in the project it doesn't show up in the Source Control tab on the left sidebar, unless I close and reopen VS Code or manually click on "Synchronize Changes"

However, I do not have this problem:

In addition, changed files are no longer shown on a different colour, even after manually synchronizing changes or closing and reopening VS Code.

I'm working in a Remote WSL workspace from Windows 10 2004. My VS Code version is 1.47.0 and my Git version is 2.17.1 on Ubuntu 18.04. I can provide any other kind of information.

[adrianghc]

At least in my case, the problem occurs only when opening a Windows directory from WSL. I've opened a separate issue (#102243) as in my case there is another problem that is linked to this one.

Got it, closing it let me know if it comes back.
