Many git processes can be spawned at startup

[roblourens]

From microsoft/vscode#23773

• Open a large git repo in vscode (here, chromium)
• Quickly after opening vscode, make an edit, save the file
  • Repeat making an edit and saving several times

Git processes are spawned without limit:

.gitignore is the file I was editing. I think another one is spawned each time I save the file. My computer is slow and my tunes start skipping (my main motivation for investigating).

They run for a very long time. I close that vscode window, and they are still running a minute or more later.

Only reproes if I do this right after opening the vscode window. I can't repro it later.

I have taken some steps to mitigate this problem with the release of 1.7.0. I got better performance results in my environment.

Is this still an issue for you with the latest version?
