I think so too.

I don't think it's a great idea for code in lib/ to start messing with
signals.  SIGWINCH could be an exception since ncurses usually sets
it, but for other signals... meh :/

so, if you really want to check for this specific case, the polling is
not bad.  the progress callback is delayed.  One minor optimization of
your original diff could be do to not poll() when we're writing the
packfile, a connection closed there results in a write() failure.
