[PATCH v2 13/17] index-helper: kill mode

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
Mar 19, 2016, 01:04 UTC
Message-ID
<1458349490-1704-14-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1458349490-1704-1-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>

Add a new command (and command-line arg) to allow index-helpers to exit cleanly.

This is mainly useful for tests.
