title: eclipse: "re-indexing repository workspace" or "Computing Git status for repository workspace"
body: <p>I am using eclipse Juno, and yesterday I noticed my computer was getting very hot.  I checked the CPU usage to see it was at 100%.  Eclipse was the culprit, busy "re-indexing repository workspace".  When after half an hour it hadn't finished and my machine was nearly melting, I searched and found these similar problems:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16313851">Re-indexing repository loop - not Maven</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19110037/eclipse-hangs-on-re-indexing-fully-repository-username">Eclipse hangs on &quot;Re-indexing (fully) repository {username}&quot;</a></p>
  
  <p>Thing is I'm not using git.  And by the sounds of things I don't want to since it's going to eat all my CPU.  I removed ~/git, deleted a project I have which uses git, checked for any files under ~/.git, removed egit and jgit from eclipse plugins, and it's still happening.</p>
  
  <p>I can stop the process each time, but now it seems unable to build the workspace.</p>
  
  <p>So I decided to upgrade to Kepler, and now I have a similar problem with a different message:</p>
  
  <p>"Computing Git status for repository workspace"</p>
  
  <p>Again it's eating 100% of my CPU and threatening to set fire to my desk.</p>
  
  <p>And I don't even have any open git projects.</p>
  
  <p>How do I stop this stupid thing?  Every time I stop the process, but if I then try to clean rebuild or open a project, it starts up again.</p>
