Git Branches Popup Menu does not pop up at all
Running IntelliJ 2017.1.2 x64 Ultimate (on Windows 7 professional).
When trying to open the Git Branches Popup Menu, first IntelliJ becomes unresponsive for some time and than... nothing happens.
I tried:
- From the main menu, choose VCS | Git | Branches.
- Click the Git widget in the Status bar
So basically, I'm unable to get the Git Branches Popup menu.
Several of my colleagues experience the same problem after they switched from version 15.0.6 to 2017.1.2.
I wonder if it is (also) related to the combination of git and Windows.
A git pull eg. (of our 200 different git repositories) takes a couple of minutes for colleagues running on Linux while it takes 20+ minutes on Windows. (Due to git signing in again for each and every git repo, I read somewhere)
During that git pull, in the Windows Task Manager I see lots of git.exe and git-receive-pack.exe processes being started up and stopped. I suppose one pair for each of our git repo's.
I see exactly the same when I triggered IntelliJ to show me the Git Branches Popup menu.
Bottom line: I had to switch back to IntelliJ version 15.0.6. :-(

OK. I did. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-172234
Very disappointing to see that the bug I submitted isn't being worked on. (at least I'm not informed of the opposite)
Hi Geert,
Sorry for the lack of feedback - we are working on the issue and will do our best to fix it. I've updated the bug accordingly.
Thanks for answering. Good to hear that. Looking forward to the fix, so we can use the most recent version of IntelliJ again.
Hi to all!
I had the similar issue like Geert. In my case in my-project/.idea/vcs.xml file was wrong mapping xml tag. Just deleted it and VCS popup became great again.
