Add a comment about intentionally inducing SIGPIPE since this is unusual
and future developers should be aware. Also, even though we are trying
to refactor git commands out of the upstream of pipes, we cannot do it
here since we rely on it being upstream to induce SIGPIPE. Comment on
that as well so that future developers do not try to change it.
