From 7d5e9c9849a809ff70223037bf6d569a8e2d3e66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 02:12:01 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] credential-cache--daemon: clarify "exit" action semantics When this code was originally written, there wasn't much thought given to the timing between a client asking for "exit", the daemon signaling that the action is done (with EOF), and the actual cleanup of the socket. However, we need to care about this so that our test scripts do not end up racy (e.g., by asking for an exit and checking that the socket was cleaned up). The code that is already there happens to behave very reasonably; let's add a comment to make it clear that any changes should retain the same behavior.
