sl pull hangs on sapling.ext.github.pr_marker.cleanup_landed_pr_hook

I cloned a GitHub repo using “git clone <URL>” (so VS Code could show me blame, which didn’t work when I used “sl clone”) and ran into a problem where sl pull always hangs. I ran sl pull --verbose and got:

sl pull --verbose
pulling from https://github.com/<company>/<repo>.git
calling hook post-pull.prmarker: sapling.ext.github.pr_marker.cleanup_landed_pr_hook

I tried cloning a second copy of the repo and redoing the commits there but ran into the same problem.

sl --version
Sapling 0.2.20250521-115337-25ed6ac4
(see https://sapling-scm.com/ for more information)

Is the open source Sapling an abandoned project? It seems like there haven’t been any updates since May.

The workaround I found was to clone the repo with sl clone instead of git clone. There was another issue I ran into with git clone which was that bookmarks would not move when I made a commit with sl commit. In general I would not recommend using Sapling with a repo cloned with git clone since it’s way too buggy.
