Subject: 23.1; git vc-annotate is synchronous
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 09:41:53 -0600

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


I visited a file in a git-managed source tree.
I typed C-x v g (vc-annotate).
Emacs paused while git computed the result.

I think this command should be run asynchronously, as the CVS vc back
end does.  Computing annotations can be slow, even with git, especially
for large/old files.


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
