[PATCH v13 07/20] index-helper: add --detach

From
David Turner <novalis@novalis.org>
Date

Message-ID

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>

We detach after creating and opening the socket, because otherwise we might return control to the shell before index-helper is ready to accept commands. This might lead to flaky tests.
