Re-indexing even though "Refresh when index changes" is off [message #1041097]

egit 2.3.1 keeps re-indexing a git repository. It burns a lot of CPU, and never completes.

Re-indexing seems to be triggered on every save (even to files on completely different files systems).

- I've unchecked "Refresh resources when index changes"
- I have no open projects that use that repository.

I believe egit is mistakenly identifying projects in .gitignored subdirectories as belonging to the parent repository.

How do I stop it?

Sounds likely. Can you report this to bugs.eclipse.org (I did not check if this is reported), but I know
there is something relating to not completely ignoring .ignored folders (it scans and /then/ ignores).

The nightly builds might be better (faster), causing less problem if you have many repositories, but the
basic issue is mostly likely still there.

Thanks Robin. I've opened Bug 405833.

Fortunately (for me), the problem has gone away. I think this is because I de-selected "Auto share projects located in a git repository", but I can't be sure. I'll continue to try to trigger the problem, and report any "success" against 405833.
