Crashes during large builds inside a repository (notify-rs) #8026

@ghost

Description

Version

0.14.14

Operating System

Linux

Distribution Method

Built from source

Describe the issue

GitButler monitors the contents of .gitignored directories. When I build electron or the kernel. I have to switch GitButler to another repository or it will run out of memory tracking all the "useless" build artefacts. EDIT: It just randomly crashes in notify-rs.

As I already hinted at, ignoring .gitignored directories would be a nice way to solve the problem.

EDIT: I have to explain why I say ignored directories. I build in the context of a distribution so the whole electron/kernel build is in a directory that is .gitignored. If one would checkout the kernel and build - GitButler also has to ignore .gitignored patterns.

How to reproduce (Optional)

Do a large build

Expected behavior (Optional)

Not use up all the memory. Not crash.

Relevant log output (Optional)
