OK, here's a replacement for the first patch in test-match-signal (the others do not need touched at all). It punts on Windows entirely.

It does retain the existing check for "3" in t0005 (though I note in 04422c7 you skipped the next test entirely in MINGW, and a similar argument could perhaps apply here).

I suspect that supporting Windows in test_match_sigpipe would require at least:

  - checking for code 3 to cover cases where we raise (either because of
    check_pipe(), or because we are doing the pop-and-raise thing in our
    cleanup handlers)
  - checking for 128 when we want sigpipe, in case we get EPIPE and it
    caused a die().
  - figuring out what the heck happens when you "kill -15" a git process
    and mapping that

But those are all just guesses (and we'd probably want to hide them behind "if test_have_prerequisite MINGW" to avoid making the tests less robust elsewhere).

This patch should change nothing at all for Windows, so at least we are not making things worse.

Subject: [PATCH] tests: factor portable signal check out of t0005

In POSIX shells, a program which exits due to a signal generally has an exit code of 128 plus the signal number. However, ksh uses 256 plus the signal number. We've accounted for that in t0005, but not in other tests. Let's pull out the logic so we can use it elsewhere.

It would be nice for debugging if this additionally printed errors to stderr, like our other test_* helpers. But we're going to need to use it in other places besides the innards of a test_expect block. So let's leave it as generic as possible.

Note that we also leave the magic "3" for Windows out of the generic helper. This is an artifact of the way we use raise() to kill ourselves in test-sigchain.c, and will not necessarily apply to all programs. So it's better to keep it out of the helper, to reduce the chance of confusing it with a real call to exit(3).
