I also experience this issue. I just noticed it happening now, probably because I reopened VSCode and it took the opportunity to update/restart extensions.

[l3ender]

Seeing the same thing. The logback.log file is in the root directory of the folder. It's empty, but can't be deleted until VS Code is closed. I've accidentally added it to source control a few times. :(

[perunslava]

Simple workaround:

1. echo "logback.log" > ~/.gitignore
2. git config --global core.excludesFile '~/.gitignore'

[cloudwitch]

This is obnoxious. My coworkers keep getting onto me for accidentally committing this. I've got it on my global gitignore now, would like to remove.

[shygnome]

I have the same issue. May need to revert to the older version.

[KrzysztofBuchacz]

Same problem, quite annoying.

[nvuillam]

We'll have a look , meanwhile I suggest you follow @perunslava 's workaround and add logback.log in gitignore :)
