Git - VSCode locks git index in AFP repo

• VSCode Version: 1.43.2
• OS Version: Darwin 18.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 18.7.0: Mon Feb 10 21:08:45 PST 2020; root:xnu-4903.278.28~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 i386

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open workspace (in this case a LaTeX project)
2. Attempt to run git add from a separate terminal window.

Result:

fatal: Unable to write new index file

Solution:

Close VSCode workspace.

VSCode appears to be keeping .git/refs/remotes/origin/master open. lsof doesn't indicate any locks but git still refuses to update the index until I close the VSCode window.
