t9001: work around hard-to-debug hangs

dscho · Git for Windows Build Agent · commit e633ee6b360e · 2017-02-02T23:31:36.000Z
Just like the workaround we added for t9116, t9001.83 hangs sometimes --
but not always! -- when being run in the Git for Windows SDK.

The issue seems to be related to redirection via a pipe, but it is really
hard to diagnose, what with git.exe (a non-MSYS2 program) calling a Perl
script (which is executed by an MSYS2 Perl), piping into another MSYS2
program.

As hunting time is scarce these days, simply work around this for now and
leave the real diagnosis and resolution for later.
