Where we parse and set the value of the variable, we do this:

	else if (!strcmp("uploadpack.keepalive", var)) {
		keepalive = git_config_int(var, value);
		if (!keepalive)
			keepalive = -1;
	}

The condition may have to become "if (keepalive <= 0)".

Yeah, either way, the patch as-posted is good.  Thanks.
