Subject: [PATCH (GITK) 0/3] Avoid runaway processes in gitk

From: Alexander Gavrilov <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:44:48 +0400

As in the 'git gui blame' case, gitk back-end processes can sometimes
run for a while without producing any output, e.g. diff-files on a slow
filesystem.

These patches make gitk explicitly kill its back-end processes.

Alexander Gavrilov (3):
      gitk: Kill back-end processes on window close.
      gitk: Register diff-files & diff-index in commfd, to ensure kill.
      gitk: On Windows use a Cygwin-specific flag for kill.
