Mark Waite resolved as Not A Defect

Refer to this stackoverflow article for a description of this command line git failure mode. The failure in that stackoverflow article is on a Linux machine rather than Windows, but has the same basic cause.

The command line git program was unable to create a thread to perform file system operations in parallel.

If that happens often, the git-config man page (and the git source code) suggests that you can avoid that section of code by setting `core.preloadIndex = false` in the configuration for that repository (or the global git configuration for that machine).

I'm closing this bug report because I believe the plugin should not attempt to solve this problem with a system resource limit affecting command line git.

Refer to this [stackoverflow article|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33255285/i-get-fatal-unable-to-create-threaded-lstat-error-when-i-run-git-status-com] for a description of this command line git failure mode.
