<p dir="auto"><code class="notranslate">git status</code> takes around 2 seconds to run on my large repository, the blue clock icon on git integration to indicate "working" can be quite visually distracting as it seems to ping the repo every 5-10 seconds.</p>

<p dir="auto">I'm not so sure there is a benefit in indicating work unless the user explicitly requested it, such as when clicking the button.</p>
<p dir="auto">Several times now I've had mysteriously deleted files when doing a git pull in a console while Visual Studio Code is running. I've seen this roughly since version 0.10.</p>
<p dir="auto">It seems that when auto-merging, Git is able to delete a file but not able to write the merged file back if it's open in Code. However that is just a hypothesis.</p>
<p dir="auto">Seen the issue last with git version 1.9.5.msysgit.1 and Code 0.10.2.</p>
