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

Research direction
Investigate the dircache version error in isomorphic git. The error occurs during autosave and involves `git.statusMatrix`. Check the code for dircache version handling, possibly in `src/utils/dircache.js` or similar. Also examine the transport protocol error, which may be related to the user's environment. Consider reviewing existing comments and any linked issues to understand the root cause.
