According to the C standard size_t is always unsigned, therefore the
comparison "n1 < 0 || n2 < 0" when n1 and n2 are size_t will always be
false.
This was raised by clang 2.9 which throws this warning when compiling
apply.c:
builtin/apply.c:253:9: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtautological-compare]
if (n1 < 0 || n2 < 0)
~~ ^ ~
builtin/apply.c:253:19: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtautological-compare]
if (n1 < 0 || n2 < 0)
~~ ^ ~
This check was originally added in v1.6.5-rc0~53^2 by Giuseppe Bilotta
while adding an option to git-apply to ignore whitespace differences.
