The only way to get back the emacs is to kill it , because its completely frozen. To understand the problem more , let me explain more... Once the git repo open with (C-x g) and staged a file and start pinentry-start from minibuffer and then we can commit the message with sign. But, after sometime, when nothing happening , it prompt again for the passphrase and once the passphrase entered , the damn thing got frozen . I am writing this bug report on Gentoo ...but it happened on Slackware ...Debian ...Arch ...Tumbleweed too ...not sure what is going on ... Alas!, I couldn't figure it out how to see the log aftermath...is there a way?? If you need more info let me know ...so I can provide you. But it is annoying ...so this report ...
