Zed cannot find new files and folders after an external process creates them (git pull)

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Open Zed editor
Open any git project
Wait for Zed to be done indexing
Do a git command that will bring in new folders and files
cmd +p try to find the new folder or file (does not exist), open Project panel, navigate to path where the new folder should be and their files don't not show up on project panel either.
ls -las via terminal the same path to confirm the folders actually exist there. They do.

Note: make sure when you simulate creating new files you don't do that via Zed, otherwise I will know about them. Because if you open the file once Zed knows about them. You want that an external process (my case git) brings the new folder/files in, or simply do this via command line.

The opposite scenario is also true. I have a branch that has the new folders/file, I checkout main, the folder and files are still there on the project panel and can be found by running cmd + p.

It was a bit of a time sync for me, as I kept searching for similar issues and couldn't find anything related. I tried looking at command pallet and searching and there is nothing related to refresh indexes, or refresh project. The project panel options don't include any refresh by default. You are really stuck unless you kill all processes and restart them.

I still couldn't find a workaround for this. I switch branches and I'm forced to restart Zed.

Other note: Once you open the files once, Zed will display them as options via cmd+p even though they don't exist anymore in the file system.

Environment

macOS: 14.5 (23F79) Zed 0.155.2 77175bfe6675f76f1b926f7e571055b6c0cc386a

I had to omit some class names and file paths, but this is the entire log while I was reproducing the bug. I don't think there is anything relevant here.
These are all the logs in my Zed.log file when reproducing the bug:

Curious if your project or it's parent directories are a symlink as it could be this:

https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/17161

Also wanted to double check that this is not a folder inside Dropbox, iCloud Drive, Box.net, NFS/SMB mount or on a FUSE filesystem.

Can you search your zed log for "outside of root path" or "ignoring event"? If you get error messages like that it might be related to the symlink issue.
