Ok, let's leave that shut off for now. It can make History take a while to come back, so we don't need that confusion.
Do the other features work, Diff, History Diff, Compare Directory/Project/Workspace with Git, etc?
Before you run History from the SlickEdit, are there any git processes running (I would expect not)? If you run History from SlickEdit and it hangs, is there a git still process running? I do not expect there to be, but if there is, does killing it bring SlickEdit back?
Finally, can you please try this for me:
- Open a console window
- Change to a directory with a file whose history will hang in SlickEdit
- Run the following:
git --no-pager log --date=iso --date-order --name-only --follow "--pretty=format:%H%x00%P%x00%ct%x00%ae%x00%an%x00%s%x00%B%x01" justFilename>/tmp/out
Of course you have to replace "justFilename" with the file to get history for. We already changed the console to that directory already, so don't give the path, just the filename. Please send me the /tmp/out file. If there is an error message in the console, can you please copy/paste that here?
