Here is a video of the problem, watch for the flashing of the 'previous unassigned files' which really is just there for a couple for frames.

How to reproduce

  • open the UI on a project
  • in the project, create a bunch of files with for num in $(seq 1000); do touch $num; done
  • watch the UI show the untracked files
  • close the UI
  • run git clean -f to get rid of the file
  • open the UI and see the previous set of unchanged files flash briefly
    • Note that there will be no flash if ~/Library/Caches/com.gitbutler.app.nightly was removed before.
