Subject: [PATCH] Allow diff and index commands to be interrupted
Message-ID: <20060131234033.16288.34502.stgit@machine.or.cz>

```
So far, e.g. git-update-index --refresh was basically uninterruptable
by ctrl-c, since it hooked the SIGINT handler, but that handler would
only unlink the lockfile but not actually quit. This makes it propagate
the signal to the default handler.

Note that I expected it to work without resetting the signal handler to
SIG_DFL, but without that it ended in an infinite loop of tgkill()s -
is my glibc violating SUS or what?
