Describe the Bug

I use Git-backed Jujutsu, so in my repo I very rarely run git status. Not doing so for a while can be laggy for reasons that are probably obvious to anyone familiar with Git's innards.

This causes Turbo caching to radically slowdown, so the extent that a task that usually completes and caches in a few seconds will hang up the system with 100% CPU. Notably this task outputs lots of small files to disk.

$ turbo run my-task &
$ turbo daemon -vvv
[...]
2024-07-04T16:19:15.650+0100 [DEBUG] turborepo_scm::package_deps: failed to use git to hash files: git error: 'git status' in /path/to/workspace exited with code unknown. Falling back to manual
<C-c>
$ git status
$ turbo run my-task # works

Expected Behavior

The task completes like usual, possibly with an additional slowdown comparable to running git status once first, which fixes the issue.

To Reproduce

Presumably it'd be possible to repro and fix if you can find a way to artificially slow Git down.

Additional context

This is a bit of an edge case given Git's ubiquity, so I wouldn't mind if you closed this as not fixing. I figured I'd at least report it for anyone else using Jujutsu and hitting this issue.
