From: Alexander Gavrilov Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 05:44:48 GMT Subject: [PATCH (GITK) 0/3] Avoid runaway processes in gitk Message-ID: <200807180944.48570.angavrilov@gmail.com> 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. gitk | 79 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 files changed, 53 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-)
