The reason to make it consider negative values or more specifically "unspecified" values is to give the ability to differentiate between once, multiple time or with --no-option.

Eg. : initialize verbose = -1 `git commit` => verbose = -1 `git commit -v` => verbose = 1 `git commit -v -v` => verbose = 2 `git commit --no-verbose` => verbose = 0
