Sebastian SchuberthWindows does not necessarily mean Cygwin, it could also be MSYS. The latter ships with a version of "kill" that does not understand "-f". In msysgit this was addressed shipping Cygwin's version of kill.
Properly fix this by using the stock Windows "taskkill" command instead, which is available since Windows XP Professional.
