Windows does not necessarily mean Cygwin, it could also be MSYS. The
latter ships with a version of "kill" that does not understand "-f". In
msysgit this was addressed shipping Cygwin's version of kill.

Properly fix this by using the stock Windows "taskkill" command instead,
which is available since Windows XP Professional.

Update README.md

if we use 'eval exec $opt $cmdp $args' to execute git command,
tcl engine will convert the output of the git comand with the rule
system default code page to unicode.
But cp936 -> unicode conversion implicitly done by exec is not reversible.
So we have to use git_read instead.

Bug report and an original reproducer by Cloud Chou:

git gui: handle Git's output encoding correctly

Ensure that when passing a pipe, the gnulib poll replacement will not
return 0 before the timeout has passed.

Not obeying the timeout (and merely returning 0) causes pathological
behavior when preparing a packfile for a repository and taking a
long time to do so.  If poll were to return 0 immediately, this would
cause keep-alives to get sent as quickly as possible until the packfile
was created.  Such deviance from the standard would cause megabytes (or
more) of keep-alive packets to be sent.

GetTickCount is used as it is efficient, stable and monotonically
increasing.  (Neither GetSystemTime nor QueryPerformanceCounter have
all three of these properties.)
