Sourcegit UI no longer refreshes after git operations

This seems to be happening after the most recent update.
If I do anything in sourcegit (commit, push, pull, etc.) the UI doesn't update after the operation at all
I have to close/reopen that repo to see the changes.

I am on Arch linux / cachyos

It may be related to a known issue with C# file-system watcher (which is linux-only).

And you can use F5 to refresh the repository or re-open it in SourceGit instead of re-starting this app.

You can also try ulimit -n <SOME_LARGE_NUMBER> && sourcegit to start SourceGit

Is sourcegit watching paths that are gitignored?
I have gitignored folders in multiple repos that have millions of files in them. I can hear disk activity on the HDD that has those files going haywire when i start sourcegit

SourceGit does not read the files on disk directly for watching file-system changes. It uses inotify (a feature provided by kernel) on Linux.

It may because when you open a repository in SourceGit, the following commands starts to get information needed by SourceGit immediately:

git config
git branch -l --all -v --format="%(refname)%00%(committerdate:unix)%00%(objectname)%00%(HEAD)%00%(upstream)%00%(upstream:trackshort)%00%(worktreepath)"
git tag -l --format="%(refname)%00%(objecttype)%00%(objectname)%00%(*objectname)%00%(taggername)±%(taggeremail:trim)%00%(creatordate:unix)%00%(contents:subject)%0a%0a%(contents:body)"
git submodule status
git worktree list --porcelain
git log --no-show-signature --decorate=full --format=%H%x00%P%x00%D%x00%aN±%aE%x00%at%x00%cN±%cE%x00%ct%x00%s <some_other_args>
git -c core.untrackedCache=true -c status.showUntrackedFiles=all status -uall --ignore-submodules=dirty --porcelain

I have the same problem on Windows. Refreshing doesn't change anything.
