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
