Please wait git is being initialized

[roberts33286217]

Dremweaver CC v18.0, Mac Sierra 10.12.6. I set up a Git on one of my sites and all was working fine until this morning, now the Git icon on the files panel is greyed out and a message 'Please wait Git is being initialised' pops up on hover, the Git window is empty. Restart DW and restart Mac and the problem is still there. I have found a bug report that goes back to July (Please Wait, Git being initialized – Adobe Dreamweaver CC: Feature Ideas ) so others are experiencing the same problem. Any know how to fix the problem?

Dreamweaver CC supports Git, an open source distributed version control system, to manage source code. With the integration of Git in Dreamweaver, you can independently work on your code from anywhere, and later merge your changes to a central Git repository. Git keeps track of every modification in a file, and lets you revert to the previous versions as well.

what is the volume of your web site... if it is a large web site DW can hang on... and not integrate anything?

It is a large volume containing over 2,500 files but since my original post git has started to work again. When it works it is available almost immediately, when I receive the 'wait being initialized' message I can work on the site for an entire day without it becoming available, it appears to be more of a DW bug than a simple case of time taken to indexing the site files.
