File Indexing with git ls-files

Entry
JSON All of v2.0.72
EntryKind: in v2.0.72,
ChangesSection of the release
What

File indexing now uses git ls-files for significantly faster project file discovery in git repositories.

Details
  • Uses git ls-files --recurse-submodules for tracked files
  • Background fetches untracked files with git ls-files --others
  • Falls back to ripgrep for non-git directories
  • Respects .ignore and .rgignore files
  • Caches results per working directory
Evidence

fs5() at line 447111 (contains "git ls-files", "getFilesUsingGit" log messages, fallback to ripgrep)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
