Hi all:
It is very easy to launch "git instaweb" for temporary browsing and forget to shutdown the HTTP server.
It would be nice to have some option so that "git instaweb" does not fork, but waits for the server to exit. You could then kill it with Ctrl+C on your console. This way, it is harder to forget that the server is running in the background, and it is more convenient to stop it.
Regards,
   rdiez
