How about this patch instead? I chose "BAD" for the marker, as any
automatic processing trying blindly to convert it into a number will
get a 0, which seems safe to me.
Such a broken automatic processing won't mind getting any garbage; the
choice among this patch, your original "say 0 when we do not know" patch,
or unpatched "size is undefined when an entry is corrupt" git wouldn't
make a whit of difference to it.

An automatic processing that does validate its input will notice BAD is
not a number, and can handle such a corrupt entry more sanely, which is
potentially a big plus.

I think this round is a big improvement.
