Keep re-trying. Try not to smash your phone if it's still not working.

@yamsergey the new version (2.24.1) doesn't fix this apparently

obviously linked to the fact that QNX is an RTOS ...

🤔 means we should adjust git sources to disable interrupt while it's checking out?

[karawitan]

Yep, sort of .. don't know the exact details of what we should do, but sounds like implementing the first patches git on a real time os :)
Would behave like "trap" does at shell level when receiving a sigkill signal for example ...

I had made some tries to fix this without success:
