Bug ID: 379219
Summary: kdevelop interferes with the correct operation of git
Product: kdevelop
Version: 5.0.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: VCS: Git
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mr.nuke...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
KDevelop consistently does things behind the hood that interfere with the
operation of git commands run from a terminal.most notably, during git rebase,
git will often stop with the following error:
fatal: Unable to create '/home/mrnuke/src/linux/.git/index.lock': File exists.
Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
an editor opened by 'git commit'. Please make sure all processes
are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process
may have crashed in this repository earlier:
remove the file manually to continue.
Could not apply ...
This is extremely annoying, especially on rebases with a dozen or more patched,
where git is interrupted repeatedly.
To test:
1. Open provect in kdevelop
2. Leave Kdevelop open
3. From a separate terminal, git rebase (the more patches in the rebase chain,
the better)
4. Save rebase-todo, continue
Expected results:
(if there is no conflict) git rebase continues without issue.
Actual results:
git is constantly interrupted.
I am marking this as "Severity: grave" as it presents a great health risk to
git users. I have seen reports of several strokes caused by combining kdevelop
with git, with one reported user being rushed to the emergency room. The gas
resulting from mixing these two chemicals is known to the state of california
to cause cancer, dementia, and other reproductive harm.
