At the moment, my suspicion is that ^G causes emacs to trigger (keyboard-quit), but at the same time the surrounding environment (e.g. git) is sending a SIGINT to emacs, which normally acts like ^G but in this case may be triggering the emergency exit mode of emacs.

I am indeed using text mode. And when I test, invoking `emacs` directly gives it its on process group, but invoking emacs from `git add -p`+e doesn't. kevin@Brandybuck:~> ps -jp 34581 34540 USER PID PPID PGID SESS JOBC STAT TT TIME COMMAND kevin 34540 34539 34538 7d29d68 1 S+ s001 0:00.08 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive -- kevin 34581 34540 34538 7d29d68 1 S+ s001 0:00.61 /usr/bin/emacs /Users/kevin/Dev/Work/Standard9/inkling-ipad/.git/ Any idea why this would be? -Kevin Ballard-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
