execv_dashed_external: stop exiting with negative code
When we try to exec a git sub-command, we pass along the status code from run_command(). But that may return -1 if we ran into an error with pipe() or execve(). This tends to work (and end up as 255 due to twos-complement wraparound and truncation), but in general it's probably a good idea to avoid negative exit codes for portability. We can easily translate to the normal generic "128" code we get when syscalls cause us to die. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
