Subject: [PATCH (GITK) 3/3] gitk: On Windows use a Cygwin-specific flag for kill.

From: Alexander Gavrilov <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:47:40 +0400

MSysGit compiles git binaries as native Windows executables,
so they cannot be killed unless a special flag is specified.

This flag is implemented by the Cygwin version of kill,
which is also included in MSysGit.
