[PATCH v2 15/17] index-helper: autorun mode

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
Mar 19, 2016, 01:04 UTC
Message-ID
<1458349490-1704-16-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1458349490-1704-1-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>

Soon, we'll want to automatically start index-helper, so we need a mode that silently exists if it can't start up (either because it's not in a git dir, or because another one is already running).
