Subject: [PATCH] config.c: fix potential number truncation in git_parse_signed()

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>

clang -Wabsolute-value on IA-32 architecture complains that "absolute
value function 'labs' given an argument of type 'intmax_t' (aka 'long
long') but has parameter of type 'long' which may cause truncation of
value". Very unlikely for this code though. Nevertheless, add an
explicit check for truncation to shut clang up and error out.
