I think this may be a red herring. The issue described there is that
processes in the runner environment are spawned with SIGPIPE ignored.
But one of the things we do in common-main.c is make sure SIGPIPE is set
back to the default. So unless the problem is in a non-git program (say,
an issue with the shell, or prove, or something), I don't think this
would affect us.

That issue also goes back to 2020, and anecdotally, I would say that the
hangs we are seeing started in the last 6 months or so.
