[PATCH (GITK) 1/3] gitk: Kill back-end processes on window close.

From: Alexander Gavrilov <angavrilov@gmail.com>
Date: Jul 18, 2008, 05:45 UTC
Message-ID: <200807180945.43504.angavrilov@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <200807180944.48570.angavrilov@gmail.com>

When collecting commits for a rarely changed, or recently created file or directory, rev-list may work for a noticeable period of time without producing any output. Such processes don't receive SIGPIPE for a while after gitk is closed, thus becoming runaway CPU hogs.
