Subject: [PATCHv2 02/11] git-p4: test debug macro

Call this from a test to have it pause and wait for you to
investigate.  It prints out its current directory and the
P4 environment variables.  It waits for ctrl-c before continuing
the test.

Indeed.  At least debian's ash is just dash, and version 0.5.7-2
doesn't know the symbolic signal names.

Thanks for noticing.
