Re: [PATCH] config.c: fix potential number truncation in git_parse_signed()

> clang -Wabsolute-value on IA-32 architecture complains that "absolute
> value function 'labs' given an argument of type 'intmax_t' (aka 'long
> long') but has parameter of type 'long' which may cause truncation of
> value". Very unlikely for this code though. Nevertheless, add an
