[PATCH v6 14/19] index-helper: kill mode

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
Apr 27, 2016, 20:04 UTC
Message-ID
<1461787481-877-15-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>
In-Reply-To
<1461787481-877-1-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.
