Sorry I should have said I'm running on Windows. I agree that on Linux, where hgtk blocks the shell while the window is open, it makes perfect sense for Ctrl-C to kill the window. But on Windows, hgtk forks off a background process to run the window so that you can continue to use the command prompt for other things. If you then use that command prompt to run something else, completely unrelated to TortoiseHG, and have to kill it using Ctrl-C, it kills the hgtk window as well. I would consider this a bug as it is completely unexpected. I know I can avoid it by always using "start" to start hgtk, it's not that easy to remember to do that.
