* Bug Report: git status triggers a file change event

On Windows 10, git version 2.16.2.windows.1, running the command

git status

will trigger a file change event to file C:\myPath\.git  "Attributes changed."

This causes problems when using scripts that detect file changes such
as tsc -w (Typescript compiler) and using softwares that regularly
call git status such as VisualStudioCode.

Thanks.

Can you say more about how "tsc -w" reacts to the file change?  Is there
a way to tell it to exclude particular files from the files it watches?

Thanks,
Jonathan

First of all, this is clearly not a Windows-specific problem, as the index
file *is* updated, and that is simply the same behavior as on Linux/macOS.

Correct, because .git\index changed.

Visual Studio Code most likely does not look at .git for worktree changes.

As to the Typescript compiler: it should only look for .ts files, I would
be very surprised if it was confused by .git's filesystem attributes
changing!

If tsw is still confused, try adding

	"exclude": [
	    ".git"
	]

to your tsconfig.json.

Ciao,
Johannes
