[PATCH] Fix maybe-uninitialized warnings found by gcc 9 -flto

Compiler heuristics for detection of potentially uninitialized variables may change between compiler versions and enabling link-time optimization may find new warnings. Indeed, compiling with gcc 9.2.1 and enabled link-time optimization feature resulted in a few hits that are fixed by this patch in the most naïve way. This allows to compile git using the DEVELOPER=1 switch (which sets -Werror) and using the -flto flag.
