Yeah, that seems wrong. If it were a subshell, even, I could see some
argument for it, but it seems odd to trap 0 when a function returns
(bash does have a RETURN trap, which AFAIK is bash-specific, but it
should not trigger a 0-trap).

I don't think this is the right thing to do. That trap is meant to live
beyond the function's return. Without it, there is nothing to clean up
the running git-daemon if we exit the test script prematurely (e.g., by
a test failing in immediate-mode). We pollute the environment with a
running process which would cause subsequent test runs to fail.

This one is slightly less bad, in that we are dropping our
daemon-specific cleanup here anyway. But the appropriate trap is still:
trap 'die' EXIT
which we set earlier in the function. Without it, the test harness's
ability to detect a premature failure is lost.
So I do not know quite what is going on with your shell, but turning off
the traps in these functions is definitely not an acceptable (general)
workaround; it makes things much worse on working platforms.
