Ofc, there is the very long standing JGit bug [1]. It is there for over a minute now, so i wonder why nobody fixed it yet :D

This event is IMHO just too stupid, as it carries no information about /what/ changed, i just tells that /something/ in your 2.5MB index changed, thus EGit has to recalculate everything. This is an issue for me too, as you can imagine, as our index is even bigger :/
