M-x magit-status freezes emacs

M-x magit-status freezes emacs

[Krishnakant]

Dear all,

I have barely started to program using emacs in Python and this major 
issue has come up.

For now though, I use the shell and do all my git stuff.

But when in a repository I type M-x magit-status the entire Emacs hangs.

I can surely press C-g to get back on track but I am not able to use magit.

I researched a bit and found that there is some issue with Emacs 24.5 
with magit.

But I am not getting any complete solution to fix this.

Can any one help?

Happy hacking.

I don't think I ever ran into this, but Magit has an FAQ entry[1] that
points to a bug[2] that seems to say the issue is related to Tramp and
that you can work around it with this:

(setq tramp-ssh-controlmaster-options "")

Hope that helps
