Subject: Background processes in post-receive hook
Message-ID: <AANLkTinrEt6DkwhknpDZ0iV9PR+7bBd3DAaPRJOgNFTG@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I have a post-receive hook (bash script) that launches several background
processes and exits immediately.  I do that so I don't have to wait for the
background processes to finish every time I push to the repository, but Git
seems to wait for them to finish anyways, even though the post-receive hook
itself already exited.  Is there any way to stop Git from waiting and let the
push finish immediately?  Sorry if I'm missing something obvious...

Thanks,
James
