Hello,
originally the type and owner were stored in an int and printed as a
signed int (%d). Commit 3e2c3d8 changed the type to uid_t/gid_t, commit
8768149 (both pre-0.9.11) changed the printing format to unsigned (%u).
The change you asked to revert (part of 37a10129, pre-0.10.1) changed
the format back to %d, to prevent writing 2^32-1 instead of -1.
