Git fetch running constantly in the background is very annoying

[etareduction]

In my setup i don't have an ssh agent socket that just allows unrestricted git access to my userspace apps. I have a prompt popping up to touch my security key every time a git command is ran. So the constant git fetching or whatever the app does in background is very annoying because i get a prompt pop up like every 10 seconds

If there was a switch to disable background git operations it would be very cool

Same here, super annoying. This should be a problem for any secure Git setup..

On slow network or very large repos, this might bring terrible UX.

Especially annoying, when you have fingerprint confirmation for actions that involve ssh keys. It would be great to have a setting to disable automatic fetching (like there is one in VScode Sources pane)
