Describe the Bug

The auto-refresh functionality for Git no longer works. Changes to files are not detected automatically in the Source Control tab. Instead, I need to manually press the refresh button to see the updated changes.

Steps to Reproduce

Update to Cursor version 0.44.
Make changes to a file in a Git-tracked directory.
Open the Source Control tab in Cursor.
Observe that the changes are not detected until the refresh button is clicked manually.

Expected Behavior

File changes should be automatically detected in the Source Control tab without requiring manual refresh.

Operating System

MacOS

I am using 0.44.5 and this problem still exists - I have to refresh the source code control view to see changed files
