Git Pull does nothing if there are uncommitted changes; check for IDE updates doesn't work
Answered
WS 2020.1 on Win10 - if I have uncommitted changes, Git Pull looks to be working, but does nothing. Previously it would tell me that I need to first commit, then pull. So I have to realize that there are changes to commit, and it may not be immediately obvious.
Also, Check for IDE Update doesn't work. I click that item on the menu, there's a brief message on the status bar, but nothing happens.
These broke after I needed to manually install 2020 when the update from 2019 didn't work. How can I restore the functionality for these two items? Thanks.

Updates may not work if IDE has no access to http://www.jetbrains.com/updates/updates.xml resource due to a firewall or some other network restriction. You can try using https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox/app/ for the seamless updates or you may need to configure a proxy: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/license_server/configuring_proxy_settings.html .
What do you see in the Git | Console tab after you perform pull? Are there any errors in the IDE logs?
I checked and there's nothing in the log when this situation occurs, like the git operation didn't happen at all.
Do I need to reinstall webstorm or something?
