This is one of the absolutely worst #usability things I've seen.
When I close #GitHubDesktop, it hangs for an indeterminate, looooooong amount of time, saying "oh I'm updating now, please don't do anything funny or we're both screwed". It doesn't say anything about how it's progressing. It's been crunching for a long time. Is it stuck? Is it working? Are we screwed anyway?
I'm a lil' ball of anxiety now, HELP
...oh it finally completed. Phew.
This is *always* a nice thing to see when I have to power down my laptop for travel. Nowadays I'm wiser. Always put shutting down GitHub Desktop in your calendar on the day before the trip, people!
