[PATCH 0/3] git-svn: fixes for intermittent SIGPIPE

In my work environment subversion is still being used as the main revision control system. Therefore many people who prefer to work with git have to resort to git-svn.

However, in many configurations it used to suffer from the notorious "git-svn died of signal 13" problem (see e.g. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/134936 and the links therein).

I believe to have tracked down the issue to the connection being closed by the server when http keep-alive is in use, and the client dying on SIGPIPE because its handler is left at SIG_DFL when a new request is being made.

The patches have been tested on

- Linux Fedora 16 x86_64, git 1.7.7.6, perl v5.14.2, svn 1.6.17
- Windows 7 x64 + Cygwin, git 1.7.9, perl v5.10.1, svn 1.7.4,
- Windows 7 x64 + MsysGit, git 1.7.9.msysgit.0, perl v5.8.8, svn 1.4.6

This is the second version of the series; it only differs from the first submission in that it includes the third patch with a cosmetic cleanup.

  git-svn: use POSIX::sigprocmask to block signals
  git-svn: ignore SIGPIPE
  git-svn: drop redundant blocking of SIGPIPE
