After a merge generating conflicts, I open the status window with
M-x magit-status
which displays, e.g.
Unstaged changes:
Unmerged .gitignore
(Also a pesky warning-window opens "Warning (el-get): Your Emacs doesn't support HTTPS (TLS). Warning (:warning): for magit-1.4.0
You have just updated to version 1.4.0 of Magit, and have to make a choice ..." I don't think this is the issue, but included it anyhow.)
When I move the cursor to .gitignore and type e to open the ediff merge tool, emacs entirely crashes.
The crash seems to happen when either I'm running neotree-mode or if I use ? to open a help buffer without neotree-mode.
The error report says
Application Specific Information:
