Description

I am receiving the following two errors whenever I start Sublime Text 2:

Package Control

Error executing: /usr/bin/git symbolic-ref -q HEAD

Working directory: /Users/NobleUplift/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/TypeScript

Invalid connection: com.apple.coresymbolicationd

VCS-based packages can be ignored by changing the "ignore_vcs_packages" setting to true.

Sublime Text will need to be restarted once the setting is changed.

And:

Package Control

The process git seems to have gotten stuck.

Command: /usr/bin/git symbolic-ref -q HEAD

Working directory: /Users/NobleUplift/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/TypeScript

This is likely due to a password or passphrase prompt. Please ensure git works without a prompt, or change the "ignore_vcs_packages" Package Control setting to true.

Sublime Text will need to be restarted once these changes are made.

When I cd "/Users/NobleUplift/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/TypeScript" and run /usr/bin/git symbolic-ref -q HEAD, it returns refs/heads/master. I don't see where the plugin errors are coming from.

Research direction

Start by reproducing /usr/bin/git symbolic-ref -q HEAD in the reported TypeScript package directory and compare the result when launched by Package Control. The issue names no repository file or test, so first determine whether the failure belongs to this plugin or to Package Control. Done means identifying a project-specific cause and a documented, reproducible resolution.
