MacVim hangs when vcscommand attempts to identify the VCS type

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run MacVim GUI (I am using Snapshot 61.)
2. Edit a file that is in version control.
3. :VCSVimDiff (or any action that requires vcscommand to identify the VCS 
type.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the action to happen (open a vim diff, etc.) but instead MacVim 
appears to hang. Consulting ps I see a hung subprocess like this:

/bin/zsh -c (bzr info -- "twisted/words/protocols/irc.py") 
>/var/folders/qj/lb3tbsp97gg74jpcxtcw30zm0000gn/T/vb6qJUV/1 2>&1

It is not always bzr, in some circumstances (that I do not fully understand) it 
is git that appears to be stuck. I do not have Mercurial installed but I'm sure 
that randomly hg would also appear to be stuck.

In this particular instance the file in question is in an SVN repo but this 
happens in bzr repos too, sometimes with bzr getting stuck in a bzr repo but 
git too.

If I override the type (:let b:VCSCommandVCSType='SVN') then this issue seems 
to go away.

This issue also doesn't appear (at least I can't reproduce it) when running the 
console UI.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

vcscommand-1.99.43.zip on Mac OS X 10.7.

I was having the same problem, but it is working since I upgraded to MacVim 
snapshot 64.

Unless there's some additional information on this, it sounds very much like a 
MacVim issue.  Please re-open with additional information if upgrading MacVim 
(per comment #1) doesn't solve the issue.
