git_connect() can return 0 if we use git protocol for example. Users of this function don't know and don't care if a process had been created or not, and to avoid them to check it before calling finish_connect() this patch allows finish_connect() to take a null pid. And in that case return 0.

 Found it when debugging 'git archive --remote=git://...'
 command. I noticed that this command always exited with 1 as
 status.
