Recursively searching too deep for .gitignore files

[bbiggs]

What happened?

Gemini CLI seems to want to recurse down the whole directory tree for .gitignore files on startup, which can take forever.

What did you expect to happen?

Should have some cutoff.

The issue describes a performance problem where the CLI is slow to start due to excessive recursion when searching for .gitignore files. This is categorized as a bug within the performance area. The issue lacks version information and specific reproduction steps, which would normally warrant a 'status/need-information' label and a priority assessment. However, as priority and status labels are not available for assignment, they cannot be added.
