8.3 drops automatic scanning entirely. If you want it to happen automatically, you can set up a gateway timer script somewhere and call `system.project.requestScan()`, but the better pattern is to fire it whenever git actually needs it to happen, instead of burning CPU cycles scanning unchanged resource trees.
