Subject: [PATCH 2/5] launch_editor: ignore SIGINT while the editor has control To: Kalle Olavi Niemitalo Cc: Paul Fox , git@vger.kernel.org Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2012 11:55:11 -0500 Message-ID: <20121111165510.GB19850@sigill.intra.peff.net> References: <20121111163100.GB13188@sigill.intra.peff.net> The user's editor likely catches SIGINT (ctrl-C). but if the user spawns a command from the editor and uses ctrl-C to kill that command, the SIGINT will likely also kill git itself (depending on the editor, this can leave the terminal in an unusable state).
