Gitlab 5.0: `sudo service gitlab stop` must stop all gitlab processes at all times.
Created by: sivabalan
On running sudo service gitlab start the following processes start up:
- git 2507 24.3 0.6 918716 110576 pts/5 Sl 21:44 0:19 unicorn_rails master -c /home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb -E production

After that, if the service is stopped and started in quick succession a few times, (More specifically on quick repetitions of sudo service gitlab restart) from then on a subset of the processes listed above seem to keep on running forever unless manually terminated.
This problem seems to get in the way mainly when testing out various configurations of the gitlab server ie,. in the case when quick reloads of the gitlab server are required.
