main thread stacktrace when opening the context menu where EGit does IO

When right clicking on the project context menu EGit tries to do IO on the UI thread and can block the UI for log periods. See attached stack trace of the main thread.

which EGit version are you using ?

I am using EGit 4.6.0.201612231935-r

Undeniably the canPushToGerrit accesses the git config :-(.

What exactly is this bug report about: that this can or could block, or that you actually _had_ the UI blocked for a long period?

I had the UI blocked for a long period. I was able to get that stack trace because the UI was frozen.
