Your test looks racy. After the "&" in spawning the daemon, we don't
have any guarantee that the daemon actually reached the signal() call
before we issued our kill.

The daemon issues an "ok\n" to stdout to report that it's ready to serve
(this is how the auto-spawn avoids races). So you could use that with a
fifo to fix this. It's a little complicated; see lib-git-daemon.sh for
an example.

I'm also not sure the use of "ps" here is portable (i.e., does it always
report a useful error code on all systems?).

So I dunno. Given the complexity of the test, and that it is such a
simple feature that is unlikely to be broken, I'm not sure it is worth
it. A test failure seems like it would more likely be a problem in the
test, not the code.

Can you add a signed-off-by here (see the "sign-off" section in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches).

Style-wise, I think the declaration should go above the options-list.

This part looks obviously correct. :)

I don't think there's any need to use sigchain_push here (we have no
intention of ever popping it).
