file explorer doesn't show anything in large git repo's

[MuhsinFatih]

• VSCode Version: 1.37 (July update)
• OS Version: MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G87)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. open a large git repo in vscode

Result: Explorer will not display anything, but files are accessible (i.e.: I can open files with quickopen, edit them as usual)

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

I also installed the insiders version today (Version: 1.37.0-insider), seems to be the same version, and issue still occurs there.
I rolled back to 1.36.1, and it works as expected in this version

@MuhsinFatih is that on a remote network drive? Are you having dangling symbolic links within? Does it reproduce with our Exploration builds that use a newer node.js version?

Yes, sorry for not mentioning those. It's actually exactly like that: a remote folder with dangling symlinks. I'm using sshfs, so although they are in fact not dangling symlinks, since I don't have access to their realpath's locally, to vscode they are dangling.
I don't know about exploration builds, I'll check that when I get the chance
