Secondary, blank repository appears repeatedly in Repositories view

[mliq]

• GitLens Version: 8.3.3
• VSCode Version: 1.24.0 (also occurred on 1.23.1)
• OS Version: 10.13.5

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Work as normal in a large single repository project. (Note that this project does have a second package.json and .gitignore in a subfolder, but it does not have a git repo there.)
2. Eventually, notice that gitExplorer shows a secondary, completely blank repository.
3. Close the blank repository via right click menu.
4. Minutes or hours later, the empty repository reappears.
   repeat ad infinitum.

Note that the VSCode build in VCS does not appear to have this issue.

Things I have tried unsuccessfully:
"git.autoRepositoryDetection": false
"gitlens.advanced.repositorySearchDepth": 0

@mliq And there is no .git folder some where else in the folder tree? If not, are you opening any files outside of the workspace, because GitLens will try to detect repos for just single files opened in the same window.

Can you please enable output channel logging by setting "gitlens.outputLevel": "verbose" in your settings.json. This will enable logging to the GitLens channel in the Output pane. Once enabled, please attempt to reproduce the issue (if possible) and attach the relevant log lines from the GitLens channel.

@eamodio

• there are no other .git folders. However, one subdirectory does contain a secondary .gitignore and .vscode - could this impact it?
• I am not opening any files outside of the workspace when this happens.
• turned on logging and will submit here when it happens again.

Thanks, none of those things should affect GitLens finding a repo. Looking forward to the logs.

I am closing this issue because it needs more information and has not had recent activity. Please re-open this issue when more details can be provided.

Thanks!

@eamodio I am not able to re-open, should I make a duplicate or can you re-open?
I have continued to have this problem multiple times per day.

Attached here is a log:
gitlens_moreprecise.log

• At line 1484 I had just deleted the empty repository
• By line 1524 the empty repository was back!
