By 'start' I mean it is done inside Qt QProcess class back box ;-)

Anyway I have written an homegrown 'wanna be hacker' launching script:

git rev-list --header --boundary --parents --topo-order HEAD >
/tmp/qgit_136224752.txt &
echo $!
wait


With this I can get the pid of git-rev-list from my QProcess interface
so to be able to kill it when needed with another command ('kill'
BTW).

I have googled around and it seems that 'echo $!' and 'wait' _should_
be portable among many shell, please correct me if'm wrong or if the
approach is failing (I already know it's ugly ;-)  )
