Subject: mingw: really handle SIGINT
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=363f1d8b3a9c90f13ca6fd9ab0dc47e483e3cc9c;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

mingw: really handle SIGINT

Previously, we did not install any handler for Ctrl+C, but now we really
want to because the MSYS2 runtime learned the trick to call the
ConsoleCtrlHandler when Ctrl+C was pressed.

With this, hitting Ctrl+C while `git log` is running will only terminate
the Git process, but not the pager. This finally matches the behavior on
Linux and on macOS.
