[PATCH v14 17/21] index-helper: autorun mode

From
David Turner <novalis@novalis.org>
Date

Message-ID
<1467532693-20017-18-git-send-email-novalis@novalis.org>
In-Reply-To
<1467532693-20017-1-git-send-email-novalis@novalis.org>
From: David Turner <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).
