Changing branches taking forever since installing Coro Endpoint DLP

[Joel Hill]

Hey community, 

We have installed Coro Endpoint DLP to satisfy ISO 27001 requirements. It essentially scans endpoints for files with PI (private information) and flags it for review. It's great for making sure people don't have client info on their endpoints but it's causing trouble in SourceTree. 

When we change branches, there's now a huge delay. I am dealing with Coro tech support but they have told us to ask Atlassian/SourceTree for help. They are asking if there are any folders that we should whitelist to prevent the files being scanned by the endpoint software. 

The whitelist is meant to apply to child/subfolders so we put 

__USERPROFILE__/www/
and

$HOME/www/

and also each dev's www folder in the whitelist file - we also tried to whitelist the app hash.

Is there anything else we should put in there? It seems I need this info before Coro will proceed with further troubleshooting. 

The delay runs for a few mins and it's driving the devs nuts. 

Running on MacBooks with Sonoma FYI.

Hey @Joel Hill ,

Have you managed to sort this out in the meantime?

If not, I guess you could try whitelisting things like:

$HOME/www/
$HOME/www/**/.git/
$HOME/www/**/.git/**

As for Sourcetree's own data, I believe it should be somewhere within the Library directory. (I'm on Windows, so I cannot say for sure)
So, something like:

$HOME/Library/Application Support/SourceTree/

Bonus, git itself has some global locations for credentials, so you could check the path for these and add them as well 👀

This is all kinda theoretical, as I haven't ever used Coro.
It will probably take a while to troubleshoot and fix this :/

Cheers,
Tobi
