Description
Currently WindowsFileSystemVirtualizer assumes that any directories created while a git command is running were created by git. However, VFS4G should check if the triggeringProcessImageFileName is a git process, and only convert those directories that were created by git.
This issue requires the changes in #885

Research direction
Start by reading WindowsFileSystemVirtualizer and the changes required by #885, focusing on the triggeringProcessImageFileName passed when directories are created. Confirm how the virtualizer identifies new directories and converts them to partial. Done means only directories created by a git process are converted, while directories created by other processes are left unchanged.
