Hi michael I’m sincerly sad about the bad experience you encounter (especially when I see how stable is the system on my machine — and I’m a bug magnet for any software — everything crashes with me — sadly enough).

Can you tell us what is your OS? version pharo version Can you commit from the command line? Are you using ssh or Https? If ssh are you using an agent? In Pharo 90 we are about to release a new C binding for libgit because the version we use is .25 and we will get to 1.0. > Instead I got the beachball spinner.

As a general principle the only thing that you can really lose is the method you are editing but did not compile (and all your code if you do not have write permissions but this is a bit normal) > > My Question: Is there some way to interrupt such a process? > > You should be able to push <meta-.> where meta is Ctrl / Alt / Command > depending on your OS. > i.e. push period and meta keys together. > > btw, in Pharo 7 I have been experiencing a few seconds lag before the > debugger appears, > such that it seems it didn't work so I end up hammering the <meta-.> key and > half a dozen debuggers show up. > Apart from needing to modify my behaviour, what have other experienced. > I understood there was some work lately to improve responsiveness, so maybe I > move to Pharo 9 soon. > > cheers -ben -------------------------------------------- Stéphane Ducasse http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr / http://www.pharo.org 03 59 35 87 52 Assistant: Aurore Dalle FAX 03 59 57 78 50 TEL 03 59 35 86 16 S.
