Description

When the autosave kicks in, it produces an error message: "Unsupported dircache version: 3 (caller: git.statusMatrix)". image

I am running ver. 2.3.0. Associated with the error, it also complains about Unsupported transport protocol. I don't want it messing with GIT at all, but I can't seem to find a way to have it stop trying to mess with Git. UTP_error

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the code handling dircache version in git.statusMatrix and related functions to understand why version 3 is unsupported and how to support it or handle it gracefully.
