/*
 * Many parts of Git have subprograms communicate via pipe, expect the
 * upstream of a pipe to die with SIGPIPE when the downstream of a
 * pipe does not need to read all that is written.  Some third-party
 * programs that ignore or block SIGPIPE for their own reason forget
 * to restore SIGPIPE handling to the default before spawning Git and
 * break this carefully orchestrated machinery.
 *
 * Restore the way SIGPIPE is handled to default, which is what we
 * expect.
