Git repo not detected over SSH after latest Cursor update
After updating Cursor IDE on 2025-04-09, the Git repository in my remote SSH workspace no longer shows up in the Source Control tab. This previously worked without issues in earlier versions.
What works:
- SSH connection to the remote server is successful.
- The
.git/folder exists at the root of the project. - Git commands (e.g.,
git status,git add,git commit) work manually in the terminal. - VS Code detects the repository correctly when connected to the same remote via SSH.
- Cursor detects the repo correctly when opened locally.
What does not work:
- Cursor does not show the Git repository in the Source Control tab when connected via SSH.
Details:
- Cursor version: 0.48.8
- VSCode Version: 1.96.2
- Remote OS Linux
- Remote shell: Conda environment with bash
- Git is installed and available in the remote environment
- This issue started immediately after the latest Cursor update

Exactly the same issue on my side, as of today.
Edit: sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't.... but definitely the same issue.
I got this error as of today after a cursor update, any resolutions known?

I can see a lot of errors during load of extensions:
Cannot redefine property: Symbol(nodejs.util.promisify.custom)
I was using Early access version, so I reverted back to "Default" and it works again.
