I don't see this behavior, either with or without "set -o ignoreeof". I see a pop-up error message: "Cannot find a git repository here"; when I click "OK" the message vanishes, gitk terminates, and the parent bash shell is undisturbed. Same thing whether bash is running under rxvt, xterm, or a Windows command window. $ cygcheck -c -d cygwin gitk bash Cygwin Package Information Package Version bash 3.2.49-23 cygwin 1.7.5-1 gitk 1.7.0.4-2 -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) ks...@mib.org <http://www.ghoti.net/~kst> Nokia "We must do something.
