A more comprehensive way to handle this is to offer the user a choice:

Ctrl-C was pressed during a long operation. Please choose:

(1) press Ctrl-C again to stop immediately while likely leaving the 
repository in inconsistent state

(2) press C to continue

(3) press R to roll back the current operation


And if the user would press Ctrl-C again during the rollback - he would 
be presented with choices:

Ctrl-C was pressed during the roll back of a long operation. Please choose:

(1) press Ctrl-C again to stop immediately while likely leaving the 
repository in inconsistent state

(2) press C to continue the rollback


This would be a lot better than to just stop immediately and leave the 
repository damaged.
