git hangs forever after updating to V.2.45.1

Workshop BLE· May 28, 2024, 09:01 UTC · lore

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) Upgraded git-bash (windows) to latest version 2.45.1

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) git works as usual

What happened instead? (Actual behavior) git pull and git clone just hangs forever when remote is dev.azure.com (did not try any other remote)

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? see above

Anything else you want to add: When executing with GIT_TRACE=1 GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 it can be seen, that git connects successfully to remote, but hangs after a cuple of this lines: 10:51:38.026547 git.c:465 trace: built-in: git config --null --type=path http.dev.azure.com.cookieFile 10:51:38.065783 exec-cmd.c:243 trace: resolved executable dir: C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core 10:51:38.071783 git.c:465 trace: built-in: git config --null --type=path http.https://azure.com.cookieFile 10:51:38.110297 exec-cmd.c:243 trace: resolved executable dir: C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core 10:51:38.116296 git.c:465 trace: built-in: git config --null --type=path http.azure.com.cookieFile 10:51:38.155881 exec-cmd.c:243 trace: resolved executable dir: C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core 10:51:38.161881 git.c:465 trace: built-in: git config --null --type=path http.cookieFile

Can you provide an affected repository that's publicly available? I don't know of one myself that reproduces the problem.

Can you also tell us what version you tried that _didn't_ have this problem?

I also don't see any calls to `http.cookiefile` or related paths on my system, which is a Debian sid/amd64 system using a next version. Is this maybe from a credential helper that you're using? If you're using Git Credential Manager Core, which comes with Git for Windows, it looks like you may be seeing https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/issues/1620.

If so, you probably want to follow up on that issue or with the Git for Windows maintainers, since that credential helper isn't a part of core Git, and as such, there's nothing we can do to fix it.
