MacVim is a multi-process application where each "worker process" is a Vim executable and corresponds to one GUI window. However, Vim itself was designed to only do one thing at a time and certain operations will put a Vim process in a loop where it does not respond to new input. Starting an external program (like :Git does) will put Vim in such a loop. This results in the window corresponding to that process to seemingly "freeze" like you have noticed (but you will still be able to interact with MacVim by opening new windows, bringing up the preferences, etc.). There is unfortunately not really much that I can do about this as it would require substantial non-trivial changes to Vim itself. > BTW thank Björn for the effort you put in MacVIm, it really rocks.
