This PR seeks to resolve an issue where attempts to launch the IDE could fail if the
.git
folder was not marked as hidden. Effectively, the IDE would get deadlocked between the file monitor scanning for changes to the.git/index.lock
file, and attempts to callgit status
to populate the Git pane.Resolves #2141.
@jjallaire, let me know if this feels like the right change or if there's a more appropriate place for this fix to live.
Do we want to be resilient against other hidden folders that may become unhidden (e.g. the
.Rproj.user
folder)?
