Hi, THG doesn't call `hg status` against workingctx regularly, but does `hg status --change <rev>` in several widgets: - "Changes" column of revision log (please don't enable this for large repos, which is terribly slow) - "Manifest" widget - "Revision Details" widget I suspect one of them causes temporary UI freeze.
