helm-git-grep locks emacs

Hi,

running helm-git-grep on Windows I have to kill Emacs in the task manager. Do you know what could be going on? I have a grep command in my Path.

Thanks

Sorry for the delay in replying. I don't use Emacs on Windows, and I have no motivation to reproduce or debug this issue for now. Patches and pull requests welcome.

The problem seems to be with the submodule search. If I kill sh.exe that's doing the submodule search, emacs unhangs and grepping continues.

I'm not sure what the solution is.

I see this as well. My quick and dirty workaround is just disabling submodule grep with (defun helm-git-submodule-grep-process ()).

Thanks for Q&D hack asmundg. BTW: I had to make it:(defun helm-git-grep-submodule-grep-process ())as helm-git-submodule-grep-process seems obsoleted now.
