Description

I have noticed that vscode extension host start using constant 100% CPU on 1 core.

This seems to happen after I use "Gitlens: Show File History" command on file few times alongside "Open Changes" icon that gets appeared within list it presents.

Able to reproduce this even on OpenVPN/easy-rsa@e5ec1ab (I cloned this few years back)

I have been able to produce this issue with just "WSL" and "gitlens" extension

Reload window doesn't bring CPU down even after disabling. I have to manually kill process for extension host and then reload window

I am not sure whether issue is with gitlens extension of vscode itself but I am at least able to produce this issue in my current workspace
