//! What:
//!  The processes below one process: found before it is stopped, and signalled afterwards, each only while it is still
//!  the process that was found.
//! Why:
//!  Stopping a process does not stop what it started. A `git push` that is sent `SIGTERM` or `SIGKILL` leaves its
//!  transport helper (`git-remote-http`, `ssh`) and the hooks it ran (`git-lfs`) alive, orphaned to the init process,
//!  holding their connection until their own timeout ends them (measured: a helper stayed 60 seconds, a `git-lfs`
//!  that never exits stayed for good). The tree has to be read before the root dies, because a child's link to its
//!  parent is gone once the parent has exited. A process number can be reused, so each process is identified by the
//!  start time the kernel recorded for it, and a number whose start time changed is not signalled.
//!  The list comes from `/proc`, so only Linux finds any; elsewhere the tree is empty and only the root is stopped.
//!
//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
//! ```ts
//! const tree = await descendantsOf(child.pid); child.kill('SIGTERM'); for (const process of tree) process.signalIfSame('SIGTERM');
//! ```
