[PATCH v5 14/15] index-helper: autorun mode

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date

Message-ID
<1461108489-29376-15-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1461108489-29376-1-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>

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