No, last time I checked I could kill a long-running git-rev-list with "kill" just fine. Something else must be wrong. Please investigate, Dscho > P.S.

P.S.: Use Git Bash only is the default, because most of the contributors to msysGit prefer that option (Hannes being the notable exception). Once most contributors prefer another option, we will switch. P.P.S.: Why do you ask a different question in a P.S., risking it to be missed? P.P.P.S.: Why do you put the verb in the question after the subject instead of before it? :-)
