preview hangs

[techtonik]

Hangs indefinitely. Is there a way to debug this?

git-sweep executes git cherry origin/master origin/1.0 on https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/ repository, which is 2.1Gb.

I thought that git-sweep will just execute git branches and attempt to do git branch -d <branchname> on them.

I have this problem too. Running a preview just sits there forever. Is there a workaround/fix? (Git Bash in Windows 7 x64.)

UPDATE -- Ah nevermind. It just takes a really really really really really long time.
