Re: [PATCH] unblock and unignore SIGPIPE

Would we want to call it from external C commands, too? For the most
part, git.c is the entry point for running git commands, and any
sanitizing it does will be inherited by sub-commands. But it _is_ still
legal to call dashed commands individually, and even required in some
cases (e.g., git-upload-pack for ssh clients).

git-upload-pack is protected pretty well from SIGPIPE shenanigans,
because its stdout all goes through write_or_die, as of cdf4fb8.  We
did, long ago, have some EPIPE problems with upload-pack and SSH
clients, but it all predates cdf4fb8.

So I think it's redundant to unblock SIGPIPE in git-upload-pack.

I'll tidy up as Junio recommended, recheck the tests, and submit
an updated patch shortly.
