[PATCH] Git.pm: localise $? in command_close_bidi_pipe()
Git::DESTROY calls _close_cat_blob and _close_hash_and_insert_object, which in turn call command_close_bidi_pipe, which calls waitpid, which alters $?. If this happens during global destruction, it may alter the program's exit status unexpectedly. Making $? local to the function solves the problem.
(The problem was discovered due to a failure of test #8 in t9106-git-svn-commit-diff-clobber.sh.)

This patch in addition to my earlier one should solve the problem.
For test #8 to fail, the "git svn dcommit" must succeed, but in both cases (i.e. without my patch applied, or with), the rebase fails:
rebase refs/remotes/git-svn: command returned error: 1
This results in a call to "fatal $@" on git-svn.perl:254, which calls "exit 1", and test_must_fail is happy.
With my patch, however, Git::DESTROY calls the two _close functions during global destruction, which in turn call command_close_bidi_pipe, which calls waitpid with sensible arguments this time, which alters $?, thus altering the exit status of the dcommit itself to 0. Oops.
All of "make test" passes for me after this change.
