Can't commit - github for mac just hangs with the spinning commit icon

[sciascia]

Hi There,

I have an ongoing issue with not being able to commit changes on my 10.6.8 machine - my 10.7 machine is fine though. Github for mac sits there with the commit animation endlessly spinning.

I've removed the repository and re-cloned it a couple of times but still have the issue.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Cheers

Ben

Got things working again by:

• Uninstalling Github for Mac
• Updating Git
• Reinstalling Github for mac
• Restarting

Actually, this issue is back.

It seems like Github for mac may be having trouble with some thumbnail files generated by our CMS - concrete5.

I've tried fixing permissions and changing all the permissions to 777 incase this was the issue.

Just to confirm, this doesn't happen on:

• A 10.6.8 laptop
• A 10.7 laptop

I had this issue when I was trying to commit huge files. It didn't give me any errors besides just continuing to try to commit. I tried command line and then I got an error which helped me solve the issue, but I'd add that I think Github for Mac could use better error message reporting.

Had this problem also, with a different error when I went to the terminal :

Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged,
and have 1 and 4 different commits each, respectively.
  (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)
You have unmerged paths.
  (fix conflicts and run "git commit")
