Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

I don't know if this is related to #12561 or #7939 but the cause of my memory leak is that Zed.log seems to be looping over a git error indefinitely (for as long as the program is running). I have no other errors.

2024-07-06T12:05:50-07:00 [ERROR] Error 
{ code: -9, klass: 4, message: "reference 'refs/heads/master' not found" }

If I open a project without a repo/.git file, zed doesn't leak memory.
And also, it doesn't matter which project it is, they all throw this.
It reached up to 4gb after ~5-6 hours (idle).

Environment

Zed: v0.144.0 (Zed Dev 56e3fc7)
OS: Windows 11 Home 10.0.22631 Build 22631
Memory: 31.1 Gib
Architecture: x86_64

If I remember correctly, one of the ways to trigger this was to have a project where git init had been run, but there were no commits. Although I might be confusing this with something else.
