[PATCH v3 12/16] index-helper: kill mode

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
Apr 6, 2016, 22:11 UTC
Message-ID
<1459980722-4836-13-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1459980722-4836-1-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.
