Sourcetree is spawning tonnes of child processes when a specific git repository is open

    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Priority: High
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 2.4.7.0, 2.4.8.0
    • Component/s: None
    • Environment:

      Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

      Embedded Git 2.15.1 (LibGit2 disabled)

    • Severity 1 - Critical

      When I open the tab for one specific git repository in sourcetree, it starts spawning as many as a hundred child processes: console window host, git for windows (32 bit) and sh.exe (32 bit). This causes the antimalware service executable to go nuts and saturate the cpu usage to 100%. In sourcetree itself, there is a loading bar at the top of the left sidebar that doesn't go away. Switching to the tab for a different git repository causes all the child processes to go away and the cpu usage goes back to normal. Pretty sure it only started after updating from 2.3.5.0.
