Weird NB git problem
Been using NB with git without problems on a Mac for years now - with NB
11.2 since it came out.
But just now I encountered a strange bug - and I don't know how to fix it:
I had made some changes to my source code and, as usual, from Projects I
selected
Project->Git->Show Changes
This showed me the list of files that were modified in the branch. I
highlighted all the files and selected "Commit". Usually, this would bring
up the commit dialog into which I can add some comments before actually
committing. But this time, the highlighting color for the selected files
just darkened slightly, but no commit dialog showed up! The IDE wasn't
dead - nor did the commit dialog pop up somewhere under another window. It
just didn't show.
I checked View->IDE Log, but there were no error messages (I mean other
than the "normal" ones). So I exited the IDE (Netbeans->Quit Netbeans) and
restarted it.
Back in the IDE, all the modified had lost their "modified" color (modified
file tabs show up in blue font under Darcula) and when I repeated the above
"Show Changes", no files show as modified?! But clearly that is not the
case. When I go to the command-line and do "git status" I clearly see that
the files are still modified).
So I exited NB, deleted its cache directory -
$HOME/Library/Caches/NetBeans/ - and restarted. No difference. NB still
thinks the files are not modified :-(
So I uninstalled NB 11.2 and re-installed it. Again - no difference. What
should I try next? Is there some file or directory somewhere outside the
cache directory that might have gotten corrupted?
Any help/suggestion would be much appreciated,
Tom
p.s. here's my setup from the IDE log:

HI Geertjan,
Thanks a bunch - got it working again. When I tried to commit from the
command-line, I found out that something crashed during the NB commit and
left an index.lock file in the the .git/ directory (not sure why NB
couldn't display changed files because of this, though, as the command-line
"git status" still worked). Anyway, back up and running now, so thanks
again.

Just commit these files in on the command line and then start NetBeans with
a fresh user directory and when the problem happens again open an issue and
attach the NetBeans log files for analysis.
