read_gitfile_gently: use ssize_t to hold read result
Otherwise, a negative error return becomes a very large read value. We catch this in practice because we compare the expected and actual numbers of bytes (and you are not likely to be reading (size_t)-1 bytes), but this makes the correctness a little more obvious.
