I tried enabling it, but I see no difference, the daemon still receives no SIGHUP. Could it be a bug in my version of bash? GNU bash, version 4.3.42(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) Ah, it seems I'm not the only one: (Raphael Ahrens at http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/85296/47926) Bash seems to send the SIGHUP only if it self received a SIGHUP[...] So if you type exit or press Ctrl+D all background process will remain, since this does not send a hang up signal to the Bash. [...] There is an option to send the SIGHUP on exit, but it does not work on my Bash 4.2.25.

My normal login shell is zsh, but I've been testing with bash and I see the same behaviour with both. But the original reason for this whole thread is that when running from Emacs (not via shell), the daemon *always* get a SIGHUP as soon as "git push" finishes, which makes the caching thing not so useful. We do have a workaround for this by now though (start the daemon independently before calling "git push"). -- 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
