The threaded 'repo sync' implementation would very often freeze the process when interrupted by the user with Ctrl-C. The only solution being to kill -9 the process explicitly from another terminal. The reason for this is best explained here: http://snakesthatbite.blogspot.fr/2010/09/cpython-threading-interrupting.html This patch makes all helper sync threads 'daemon', which allows the process to terminate immediately on Ctrl-C. Note that this will forcefully kill all threads in case of interruption; this is generally a bad thing, but: 1/ This is equivalent to calling kill -9 in another terminal, which is the _only_ thing that can currently stop the process. 2/ There doesn't seem to be a way to tell the worker threads to gently stop when they are in a blocking operation anyway (even in the non-threaded case). + Do the same for "repo status -j<count>".
