# Problem Since the release of the new git UI, when `~/.gitconfig` on a remote server is a symlink pointing to a file on a virtual filesystem (a common setup when using [OrbStack](https://orbstack.dev/) on macOS), Zed fails to connect with "Timed out pinging remote client". # Cause When setting up a file watcher for gitconfig, `fs::watch()` reads the symlink target and adds its parent directory to the poll watcher. `notify::PollWatcher::watch()` does a full synchronous recursive directory scan at registration time to build an initial snapshot. If the parent is something like a Mac home directory mounted via virtiofs, that scan blocks the server's main thread long enough that it can't respond to the initial ping within the 5 second timeout. # Solution The fix I implemented for this was to skip the parent directory watch when using a poll watcher. As far as I can tell, it's redundant in the poll case since the poll watcher detects changes by periodically reading metadata at the registered path, so watching the parent doesn't add anything for change detection. From my limited testing this seems to work fine but if someone with more experience in this part of the codebase would like to weigh in, that would be very much appreciated.
