I open the Bash console. I enter 'git status'. I see a long list of files that have been changed. So I enter 'git add .' (git add followed by a period). I also tried 'git add filename'. But I keep getting this error message: "Another git process seems to be running in this repository ..." It is really long and I can't copy and paste it here, so in summary it is telling me to make sure all processes are terminated and try again. I have no other open consoles or processes or open files. It then suggests that the git process may have crashed and to remove the file manually to continue. Which file? What can I do to get the Bash back to normal?

I've seen that error message before and I'm pretty sure it says which file to delete (or at least gives a clue of some sort). I can't really reproduce it, but if you copy the relevant bit here, we may be able to work out which file to delete.

Thanks! I found the file to delete and deleted it, so Bash is working again.

Excellent -- thanks for letting us know!
