    Fix a usage error in a call to the object_file_name() function In 82324ac, the new static function exists_loose() called object_file_name() and, in order to detect an error return, tested for a negative value. This usage is incorrect, as the error return is indicated by a positive return value. (A successful call is indicated by a zero return value) The only error return from object_file_name() relates to insufficient buffer space and the return value gives the required minimum buffer size (which will always be >0). If the caller requires a dynamically allocated buffer, this allows something like the following call sequence: size_t len = object_file_name(NULL, 0, db->object_dir, id); char *buf = git__malloc(len); if (!buf) error(...); object_file_name(buf, len, db->object_dir,id); ... No current callers take advantage of this capability. Fix up the call site and change the return type of the function, from int to size_t, which more accurately reflects the implementation.
