I guess I am cc'd because of f838ce5 (test-lib: factor out $GIT_UNZIP
setup, 2013-03-10). But really this check for 127 dates all the way back
to Johannes's 3a86f36 (t5000: skip ZIP tests if unzip was not found,
2007-06-06), and was just pulled along as it got refactored into a
various incarnations of prerequisite by me and René.
It's possible that there is some version of unzip that does not like
"-v" but otherwise is OK with our tests, but we would skip tests using
this patch. Even with the FreeBSD version you mention, I'd expect you
could run all of the tests except for the single "-a" test.
So I wonder if we could more directly test the two levels we care about:
- do you appear to have a working "unzip" at all?
- does your unzip support "-a"?
My Debian version of unzip (which is derived from Info-zip) seems to
give return code 0 for just "unzip". So for the first check, we could
possibly drop "-v"; we don't care about "-v", but just wanted some way
to say "does unzip exist on the path?". Another option would just be
checking whether "unzip" returns something besides 127 (so what we have
now, minus "-v").
To test for "-a", I think we'd have to actually feed it a sample zip
file, though. My unzip returns "10", which its manpage explains as
"invalid command line options" (presumably because of the missing
zipfile argument). But that seems like it probably isn't portable. And
it's also what I might expect another unzip to return if it doesn't
support "-a".
So while this patch does solve the immediate problem, I think it does so
by overly skipping tests that we _could_ run.
If we do go with this patch, though:

...you can simply drop the "test" line, as testing $? against 0 is
essentially a noop. If it is 0, then test will return 0; if it is not,
then test will return non-zero. You can just return the value directly
instead.
