The majority, if not all, of the time I notice this is when I clone a new
git repository into a depth-2 indexed folder. Perhaps this is my only issue.

I'll look into the code, but just in case: is there a simple way to force
folder rescans to go all levels every 10 minutes? Compared to all the other
things that go on in a modern OS, a few hundred files are fast and cheap to
index.
