It just had to resolve a merge conflict. After that, it should have committed everything. I was very patient and waited 15 minutes for the last step, but then I gave up after seeing this:
Preparing to commit merge (16m 35s • esc to interrupt)
It was stuck there forever. There was no reason to take so long to prepare a commit.
