Multiple rg.exe and Console Window Host processes after branch checkout

[jazelly]

Version: Code 1.77.0 (7f329fe6c66b0f86ae1574c2911b681ad5a45d63, 2023-03-29T10:02:16.981Z) OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19044 CPUs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10500 CPU @ 3.10GHz (12 x 3096) Memory (System): 15.94GB (4.44GB free)

After checking out tags in a large repo, say node/node.js, this happened due to large file system update:

code --status crash-status2.txt

I can confirm this is not an issue with VSCode, as with a clean run, i.e. no extension, it works fine. I had only this extension enabled.

Currently I have to disable this extension while working on repos like this.

I saw this issue on MacOS as well. After running bisect it was determined that this one was causing the issue.

Still happening today.

In a (very) large project, containing lots of ts files, whenever the entire project is re-built, there are so many rg processes being spawned that they end-up causing EMFILE error (ulimit reached).

The following is an extract of my "Extension Host" output that contains thousands more lines like this one:
