Git Folder view 'Discovering files' hangs

Reported by Holger Vetter Mar 08, 2017 at 09:09 AM windows 10.0 visual studio 2017 git

When I go to the folder view in git team projects visual studio hangs and is not responding. Folder has many solutions and subfolders with more solutions.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to Team Explorer Home in a Git Team Project 2. Click on "Show Folder View" 3. Visual Studio navigates to folder and shows the folder view 4. Visual Studio tries to Discover the files but hangs at "Discovering...0 files"

I'm seeing the same problem but only have 1 solution with 8 projects.

We have two machines doing this too; first time hung (waited many minutes), but strangely second attempt (after killing & re-starting 2017) the folder view worked and allowed the solution to be manually selected and opened.

If you can reproduce the hang, could you please provide a dump as described here, so we can check if this is the same or different issue:

Same as well but also only 1 solution. I downloaded the update for vs 2017 that came out today but it is not fixed.

Hi Samuel. Thanks for reporting this! Once the fix is released we will close the problem and change it to "Closed - Fixed". Stay tuned for the next update.

I should also mention, the problem seems significantly worse since installing yesterday's update. It now consistently does it even on small solutions. My version is 15.0.0+26228.9
