Describe the bug

When the Go extension is enabled in VS Code, updates to local files (not tested on remote) are no longer displayed/detected in the Explorer and Source Control panes until those panes are manually refreshed.

Isolated to the Go extension as follows:

• Disabling the Go extension resolves the issue.
• The issue persists even if Go is the only extension.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open VS Code and load a repository with all extensions disabled.
2. Open a file, make a change, and save it.
3. Observe that the Source Control notification appears in the sidebar and files are listed for sync to the repository.
4. Discard the changes.
5. Enable the Go extension.
6. Open a file, make a change and save it.
7. Observe that the Source Control notification does not appear in the sidebar and files are not listed for sync to the repo.
