get-tar-commit-id: check write_in_full() return against 0

peff · gitster · commit 68a423ab3e5c · 2017-09-14T15:16:21.000+09:00
We ask to write 41 bytes and make sure that the return value
is at least 41. This is the same "dangerous" pattern that
was fixed in the prior commit (wherein a negative return
value is promoted to unsigned), though it is not dangerous
here because our "41" is a constant, not an unsigned
variable.

But we should convert it anyway to avoid modeling a
dangerous construct.
