From 10c6cddd928b24ac6030a172c6c7b46efb32aedc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Clemens Buchacher Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2012 21:41:09 +0100 Subject: dashed externals: kill children on exit Several git commands are so-called dashed externals, that is commands executed as a child process of the git wrapper command. If the git wrapper is killed by a signal, the child process will continue to run. This is different from internal commands, which always die with the git wrapper command. Enable the recently introduced cleanup mechanism for child processes in order to make dashed externals act more in line with internal commands.
