why magit said ' Git is already running' when i am trying to do a commit

Question

i am using magit in emacs , when i try to commit a change by type C-c C-c the output console shows' Git is already running', as i checked thru Git bash , it did not generete any commit .

Answer 1

This seems to be a bug in magit and it happens from time to time. Killing git in the terminal with killall git seems to resolve the problem. As @Daimrod noted in a comment killing the magit-display-buffer will have the same effect.
