From 8ae4dd6b8e03997bfd558db263cfa28c05bc8564 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2017 11:48:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] diff: munmap() file contents before running external diff When running an external diff from, say, a diff tool, it is safe to assume that we want to write the files in question. On Windows, that means that there cannot be any other process holding an open handle to said files. So let's make sure that `git diff` itself is not holding any open handle to the files in question.
