vscode: The git repository has too many active changes

I have some really annoying warnings and can’t even turn them off. Don’t show again button doesn’t work.

These are two warnings I have The git repository at '/private/var/folders/1g/gq74jq1d3h9cwbz240kdr0x45xywwk/T' has too many active changes, only a subset of Git features will be enabled.

The git repository at '/Users/user/path/to/monorepo/files' has too many active changes, only a subset of Git features will be enabled.

git status -u shows only 1 change git rev-parse --show-toplevel shows correct folder (it’s a big monorepo)

The first one is not even a repo, it is a system temp directory.

  • OS Version: 10.14.4

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. git difftool HEAD (vscode as a merge tool)
