Subject: [PATCH (GITK) 3/3] gitk: On Windows use a Cygwin-specific flag for kill.
Message-ID: <200807180947.40515.angavrilov@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <200807180946.43560.angavrilov@gmail.com>

MSysGit compiles git binaries as native Windows executables,
so they cannot be killed unless a special flag is specified.

This flag is implemented by the Cygwin version of kill,
which is also included in MSysGit.
