These members concern the desktop app's automatic discovery of git repositories, which is reported to scan the whole home directory without a way to restrict or disable it. Two issues request controls or an opt-out, and two pull requests propose changes such as configurable scan roots, exclude paths, .git validation, and not scanning when no roots are set.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
  • Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
  • Pairwise link density 0.39: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
