What is Matlab doing by saying "processing..." at the bottom of "Current folder" window?

I just installed Matlab2015b on OS X El Capitan, the problem is while launching Matlab, there is something under processing, if I don't cancel it, finally my Matlab will hang on there and is not responsible... why?

Fixed the problem !...
navigate to the MATLAB > General > Source Control
disable the automatic source control by selecting "None".

Please see https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/select-or-disable-source-control-system.html for some details on this function. But I do think that MathWorks should consider turning off this source control intergation by default.

Thanks very much! :)
MathWorks should disable this source control integration by default. As for those who are asking what this does, some information on it is available online at https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/select-or-disable-source-control-system.html.
