Git Folder view 'Discovering files' hangs
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:

Thank you for your feedback! We have fixed the problem and the bug fix will be included in an upcoming release. Thank you for helping us build a better Visual Studio!
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
Same problem but it hangs after discovering all files.
I am getting this too. One Solution and two projects here.
We have a fix for this problem in our latest Visual Studio Preview release. If you'd like to try out the fix, you can access the preview build here: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/preview @Holger Vetter , @John Cannata , @Samuel Haycraft , @cato.jordalen , @John Nicholl and @philip Thanks for reporting!
