Hello List,

We use git in our company and found a problem with the version 2.8.3 
(x64 and x86). After installing git, with activated file system caching 
on Windows 8.1 Enterprise, on the first use of git there a git.exe 
processes started again and again. Multiple thousands instances are 
generated and do not stop until I renamed the git.exe and piece by piece 
the processes vanish. Renaming the executable to git.exe again, open git 
bash, same procedure.

I tried to let it go over night and kept the pc running (the processes 
used nearly all RAM (8GB) and the system swapped all the time. Next day 
everything went fine. After a reboot, it happens again. Only workaround 
till now for us is to uninstall git and install again with “Enable 
Filesystem cache” disabled.

Any other occurrences of this behavior? It does not happen on all pcs 
but we had 5 pcs until now with this strange behavior.

We have Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 running that quarantines git.exe 
from time to time, maybe this could cause issues.
