[PATCH 2/7] get-tar-commit-id: check write_in_full() return against 0

From: Jeff King <hidden>
Date: 2017-09-13 17:11:34
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

We ask to write 41 bytes and make sure that the return value
is at least 41. This is the same "dangerous" pattern that
was fixed in the prior commit (wherein a negative return
value is promoted to unsigned), though it is not dangerous
here because our "41" is a constant, not an unsigned
variable.

But we should convert it anyway to avoid modeling a
dangerous construct.
