Problems with certain git repos in GitKraken and Atom, causing Atom to be unusable
<p>We have recently tried switching from Sublime to Atom, and started using GitKraken also (we've mostly just been working with git in command line)</p>

<p>We have some projects with git in it that cause serious issues. One main was that we work in almost daily is a Magento 1.9 site (although, we have other Magento 1.9 sites on git repos that have no problem with Atom). What happens is we open the project in Atom and we cannot open any files. It seems to hang on initializing git info (folders stay uncolored). </p>

<p>Sometimes when we open up the project in Atom it works, most of the time it doesnt. We HAVE noticed a 1:1 correlation with GitKraken when this occurs - when we try to open the repo in gitkraken we get an error that it could not find any repo - even though it actually loads the repo just fine, albeit after a long delay. Other time this does not occur, and that's when it opens fine in Atom. We could leave it sitting there for a couple of hours untouched and come back to it and all of a sudden we cannot open any files. This happens to all users in the office.</p>

<p>The problem with atom is definitely related to git. If we remove the repo and open the project then it works with no issues.</p>

<p>I thought, maybe repo size or history had something to do with it, so we tried initializing a fresh repo, added the files and made our first commit, and still the same problem. Our git ignore file is almost identical to the other magento sites that have no problems with Atom or Gitkraken.</p>

<p>Honestly it's such a weird problem I don't even know who to submit the bug report to, and we haven't found anything in our searching.</p>

<p>**** One thing that we've discovered of note, every time we have this issue, if we run Git GUI within that git repo folder (simply just open git gui) then all of the problems with Atom and GitKraken disappear for a time. Eventually the problems just come back though.</p>
