Yes, not adding !MINGW here is a stupid oversight on my part, I can re-roll with that added, which seems to be like it'll work & be better. I.e. we'll actually test for SIGPIPE ...(read on).... > I am not sure "actually testing for SIGPIPE" is more important than > "make sure 'git rm' choked should not die with cruft", so without > thinking too deeply about the issue, my gut reaction is that > reverting is better than using !MINGW as other tests.

Keep my patch with !MINGW added. I.e. the intent of your 0693f9ddad (Make sure lockfiles are unlocked when dying on SIGPIPE, 2008-12-18) which added the test is to explicitly stress SIGPIPE, but we never actually checked it explicitly... 2. Just remove/rewrite that part of the test. We have 7559a1be8a (unblock and unignore SIGPIPE, 2014-09-18) (the other test whose pattern I copied) now. That along with 12e0437f23 (common-main: call restore_sigpipe_to_default(), 2016-07-01) means we do this everywhere, so why test "git rm" in particular in this one place but not other git commands? 3. Remove the overly specific PIPE test added in 7559a1be8a in favor of this "git rm" test. After all if we want to test the SIGPIPE pattern but sometimes we get SIGPIPE, sometimes we don't (MINGW), but we don't really care because we assume on some platforms it's being tested. But not why we'd keep the test as-is now that we've dug up this old code and found that since it got added we have a reliable way to test for actually-sigpipe. Just to maintain the coverage on MINGW? Wouldn't it be better to have two tests then, one without the prereq to run everywhere, and another identical one with the "trap" on !MINGW? I don't really care and can re-roll in whatever way you prefer, I just don't understand what I'd put as a reason in the commit message(s), depending on which route we go...
