I don't think so. In the current code, term_fd does not take ownership
of the fd. It is fundamentally part of the FILE* in git_terminal_prompt,
and is closed when we fclose() that. But in Erik's refactor, we actually
open a _second_ descriptor to /dev/tty, which needs to be closed.

I don't think there is any reason that should not work (the terminal
characteristics should be per-tty, not per-descriptor), though it does
feel a little hacky to have to open /dev/tty twice.
