[PATCH] Fix useless comparison bug

[PATCH] Fix useless comparison bug

[Chris Wilson]

The variable 'actual' was declared with a size_t type. In this line:

  actual = read_in_full(fd, buf, sz);

read_in_full returns a ssize_t type. Since size_t is unsigned and
ssize_t is signed, the value is implicitly converted from a signed
type to an unsigned type. That makes this comparison useless,

  if (actual < 0)
    die_errno("index-stream: reading input");

as it will always be false. This means, on an error path, git will
continue when it should die gracefully.

This bug was introduced in 4dd1fbc.
