First, I'd try "pstree" ("pstree -p" to get pid) to see if your editor is really dead.

Then, "strace -p" on the git process, to see if it's doing some system calls while hanged, or if it's hanged on a particular syscall. Hopefully, this will yield some "open" calls and tell you which files Git is currently working with.
