Subject: [PATCH] merge-ll: Cleanup merge driver temporaries after interrupt
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 17:06:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910150608.1867930-1-mkoutny@suse.com> (raw)
When there's a long(er) running merge driver helper, the user may just
decide to terminate it with Ctrl+C. That sends a signal to the driver
prog and to the whole process group as well, including the git merge
command proper. Hence the cleanup code would not run and .merge_file_*
files are left behind.
Transfer the idiom [1] from editor.c where the (process group) signal
delivery is approximated from the return code of the child process and
do the cleanup before going for good.
[1] Note: when the helper SIGINTs alone, it'd tear down the git-merge too.
