From b1905aeac5aded421cd90f8d264e27bb39672b36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 12:28:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] read_gitfile_gently: use ssize_t to hold read result Otherwise, a negative error return becomes a very large read value. We catch this in practice because we compare the expected and actual numbers of bytes (and you are not likely to be reading (size_t)-1 bytes), but this makes the correctness a little more obvious.
