Re: [RFC/PATCH] avoid SIGPIPE warnings for aliases

The interesting cases are when git reads back the output of the command.
Here, a SIGPIPE death of the child would indicate a bug in git, I think,
and some diagnostic would be worth it. But we can just as well declare
that git doesn't have bugs ;)

These are the interesting cases:
connect.c:640:          conn->use_shell = 1;
    a connection to a local repository
convert.c:372:  child_process.use_shell = 1;
    clean/smudge filter
credential.c:216:       helper.use_shell = 1;
    credential helper
diff.c:4851:    child.use_shell = 1;
    textconv

All in all, I think the heuristics makes sense.

Fair enough.  Thanks for grepping.
