I'm getting that same behavior every time I open my project (which takes me to the empty dialog):

Intellij Idea version:

@svenbergryen Thank you for this report. Issue was very weird and related to the IntelliJ API:
ConcurrentWeakHashMap map object was randomly cleared.

I've also changed the popup type from _warning_ to _information_.

@hsz I recently updated to 2.3.0 and still see this issue in PyCharm.

[hsz]

@daneah You mean that still empty dialog is displayed?

[daneah]

@hsz that's correct:

This bug still appears as of PyCharm 2018.1 and the latest version of this plugin.

I am also seeing this issue.

I consider this bug a major thing, since the longer it is not fixed the more will people get used to ignoring this popup until it renders the plugin useless...
Is there anything we can do to support a fix for this?
I'm willing to spend money for getting this fixed.
Let's be more precise: 20 EUR from me via paypal for whoever fixes this bug.

[hsz]

This feature will be disabled with v3.1.0

[karfau]

I would love to understand your decision.

[hsz]

@karfau Sure, this popup was generating a false-positives in many cases and - as you mentioned - was ignored by the users. Annoying popup lead users to simply disable notifications.

In addition - triggering the git command rm --cached --force {path} may be a bit dangerous especially when Project.getBaseDir has been deprecated in IDE SDK (https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/platform/core-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/project/Project.java#L44) - files location may be a bit different than expected (multiple modules).
