Yeah, seems reasonable to disable here, too.

Thanks for all your time debugging and documenting this!  Using
BAIL_OUT could save future testers a lot of time.  And I also
made another patch to make mode failures more obvious:

Subject: [PATCH] t/search: bail out on `git init --shared' failures

We can save future testers some time if we bail out early
on "git init --shared" failures, since things like seccomp
or non-POSIX FSes would trigger failures.

BAIL_OUT has been in Test::Simple since Perl v5.10.0, so it's
old-enough to call for our purposes.

Thanks-to: Alyssa Ross <hi@alyssa.is>
