Ah, right, the second remove_junk() call is because of atexit(). So why does git clone keep running after the first remove_junk() call? It seems that the signal is initially set up (by Python's popen()?) as SIG_IGN. I guess "git clone" should explicitly override that to be SIG_DFL? Here's a proof of concept. It is not very good because it overrides any previously set sigchain handlers (in case the "git" wrappers start to use one) and because using SIG_DFL as a sigchain_fun feels like violating an abstraction. diff --git a/builtin/clone.c b/builtin/clone.c index 19ed640..2f21a91 100644 --- a/builtin/clone.c +++ b/builtin/clone.c @@ -458,6 +458,7 @@ int cmd_clone(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) } junk_git_dir = git_dir; atexit(remove_junk); + sigchain_push_common(SIG_DFL); sigchain_push_common(remove_junk_on_signal); setenv(CONFIG_ENVIRONMENT, mkpath("%s/config", git_dir), 1); -- 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
