Description

When gvfs sparse runs inside my exe which calls it with the c# process.start method, and asynchronously prints it's output to stdout, it prints:

Running git status...-

Running git status...\

Running git status...\

Running git status...|

Running git status...|

Running git status.../

Running git status.../

Running git status...-

Running git status...-

Running git status...\

Running git status...Succeeded

@wilbaker mentioned that gvfs was supposed to be able to detect when it's being run by another process and not keep printing new lines to stdout. Is that only in a specific case that I need to replicate? Is there some way to tell gvfs not to do this?
