Hi Joel,

Do you have any crash logs resulting from that issue? If you do,  
please send them our way.

Versions tries to check the number of changes both locally and  
remotely soon after having started in order to be able to display  
those counts in the bookmarks source list next to each working copy  
bookmark. This is what is probably causing Versions to crash for you,  
as it is trying to connect to the problematic repository shortly after  
you start the app.

We should allow users to hold a modifier key down to make Versions  
disable the counting of changes as it starts up. When problems like  
yours occur, Versions won't be able to start up without crashing, so  
we should add kind of a "safe boot" mode for Versions, just like the  
mac has when you boot with the shift key down.

For now you can enter this command in a terminal window:

$ defaults write com.picodev.Versions CountNrOfChanges -bool NO

This will disable the counting of changes and you will hopefully at  
least be able to work with other bookmarks or delete the problematic  
ones.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
