Subject: Add output flushing before fork()
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.0-rc2~27
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7d0b18a4da1be9e738293cc13812757ca47ed109;p=git.git

Add output flushing before fork()

This adds fflush(NULL) before fork() in start_command(), to keep
the generic interface safe.

A remaining use of fork() with no flushing is in a comment in
show_tree(). Rewrite that comment to use start_command().
