From 3b422bc85495d93dd2e3f3ee1f7c792193393687 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Schuberth Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:30:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] git-gui/gitk: Do not depend on Cygwin's "kill" command on Windows Windows 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.
