In order to maintain consistency of the database mapping svn revision numbers to git commit ids, rev_map_set() defers signal processing until it's finished with an append transaction.[*] The conventional way to achieve this is through sigprocmask(), which is available in perl in the standard POSIX module. This is implemented by this patch. One important consequence of it is that the signal handlers won't be unconditionally set to SIG_DFL anymore upon the first invocation of rev_map_set() as they used to. As a result, the signals ignored by git-svn parent will remain ignored; otherwise the behavior remains the same. This patch paves the way to ignoring SIGPIPE throughout git-svn which will be done in the followup patch. [*] Deferring signals is not enough to ensure the database consistency: the program may die on SIGKILL or power loss, run out of disk space, etc. However that's a separate issue that this patch doesn't address.
