Subject: gitk: On Windows, use a Cygwin-specific flag for kill
X-Git-Url: https://privyetmir.co.uk/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b6326e92ef39b37361002bffb1f94645339eec59;p=gitk

gitk: On Windows, use a Cygwin-specific flag for kill

MSysGit compiles git binaries as native Windows executables,
so they cannot be killed unless a special flag is specified.

This flag is implemented by the Cygwin version of kill,
which is also included in MSysGit.
