[PATCH (GITK) 0/3] Avoid runaway processes in gitk

As in the 'git gui blame' case, gitk back-end processes can sometimes run for a while without producing any output, e.g. diff-files on a slow filesystem.

These patches make gitk explicitly kill its back-end processes.
Alexander Gavrilov (3):
      gitk: Kill back-end processes on window close.
      gitk: Register diff-files & diff-index in commfd, to ensure kill.
      gitk: On Windows use a Cygwin-specific flag for kill.
